"Scenic designer Wilson Chin has created a luscious, overstuffed living room upon which the drama unfolds. Lined with shelves of books; banked by a towering window; and littered with cigarettes, a seemingly infinite number of lighters, and half-empty glasses, it’s a cluttered dissolate den– a metaphor for the chaotic shambles of its protagonists’ souls."– Maureen Lee Lenker, Entertainment Weekly
"Wilson Chin’s spectacular set design– a homely, cozy living room full of books, old records, dimly lit lamps, and of course, plenty of booze– is so authentic and rich that we are more than happy to spend the hours without a single set change."– G. Dhalla/Victor Riobo, Indulge Magazine
"The play’s sharply eerie tone arises in part from the detailed scenic design, complete with towering bookshelves, a jaggedly steep staircase and a dramatically slanted ceiling. A masterstroke of coordination between costumes and scenic artistry, Nick and Honey feel intentionally out of place against the ominous backdrop of George and Martha’s lair, with their youthful powder-blue outfits contrasting the living room’s shadowy gravitas."– Krish Aditya, Daily Bruin
"Wilson Chin’s living room set is filled with harsh vertical lines– window panes, banister slats, upright books, fireplace pokers– evoking the bars of the asylum in which George and Marsha have imprisoned each other."– Jonas Schwartz, Theater Mania
"The scenic design by Wilson Chin reflects George and Martha’s messy emotional lives with a sitting room overflowing with bookshelves, a cluttered desk, stairs and halls offshoots to other parts of the house, and wide windows looking in on them, just as the audience is."– Harker Jones, Broadway World
"Wilson Chin’s scenic design of George and Martha’s living room is handsome and expertly wrought– a comfortably lived-in academic’s home that is actually a battle arena."– Terry Morgan, Arts Beat LA
"The handsome set is by Wilson Chin."– Charles Isherwood, Wall Street Journal
"The battlefield is Martha and George’s booklined home. Scenic designer Wilson Chin brings the academic ambience to life with handsome shabbiness."– Charles McNulty, Los Angeles Times
