This is a warmly observed slice of life that wraps a lived-in, naturalistic frame around its character-driven comedy and pathos. That frame here is enhanced by the meticulous detailing of Anna Louizos’ homey set, bathed in the soft notes of Natasha Katz’s lighting. — David Rooney, Variety
The action begins in the fall of 1974, in the cozy kitchen of the Magrath sisters’ house, in Hazelhurst, Mississippi. (The realistic set, by Anna Louizos, is beautifully lit by Natasha Katz.) — Hilton Als, The New Yorker
“Anna Louizos’ beautifully lived-in kitchen set and the golden lighting supplied by Natasha Katz reveal both the keen nature of Turner’s directorial eye and the obvious affection she holds for the play.”
