“Lauren Helpern and Susan Branch Towne recreate the atmosphere of early 19th century England with their beautiful and rich scenic and costume designs, respectively.”

— Utah Arts Review

“The scene has only one set, but its detail and elegance are obvious. From the moment audience members first entered the theater, soft whispers of “look at that” filled the air. A cream drawing room complete with icy winters warding off a snowy garden filled the stage. A wooden piano and apparently “alarming” tree fill the space behind a simple parlor set. Off to one side are a cozy library with the whole world on its shelves and a few surprises in store. The effect was spacious, inviting and bright — just in time for Christmas.”

— The Daily Utah Chronicle

“The scenic design by Lauren Helpern (Off-Broadway's SKINTIGHT) is majestic but warm, the lighting design by Michel Gilliam (Broadway's BONNIE AND CLYDE) is nuanced, and the period costume design by Susan Branch Towne is equally as skilled.”
