"Merely the opportunity of spending 80 minutes in this alluring Chinese wonderland designed by Christopher Barreca and entrancingly lighted by Shaun Fillion with its fluttering peach blossom curtain, translucent glass floor and catwalk, wall of video projections and neon dragonfly, is worth the price of admission."
LA times A Fresh Breeze from the East By Mark Swed
"The design elements are striking and imaginative (scenic design by Christopher Barreca, costumes by Anita Yavich, lighting by Shaun Fillion), including a Cessna-size wire dragonfly, lit from within, that changes colors; a Lucite floor that serves as an ocean and a view from below; a shimmering curtain of plastic strips painted with huge peach blossoms"

Fillion lights the effort with somber hues, and he is responsible for the exciting projection designs that make the flight effects possible." Evan Henerson, U-Entertainment

"Sibyl Wickersheimer's inventive ramped set, an evocative original score and sound design by Paul James Prendergast and lighting designer Shaun Fillion's stark shadows all serve to reflect the contradictions inherent in the two teens' behavior and in their respective reactions to tragedy" LA Times
