Hamlet Press & Reviews

The color palette for the show is a chilly but extremely elegant Nordic mix of black, gray, a touch of royal sparkle and much fur (applause for David Hyman’s costumes).

Hedy Weiss, Chicago Sun Times

Gorgeously designed…. David Hyman’s lush costumes have a visual wit all their own.

Kris Vire, Time Out Chicago

David Hyman’s costumes have a contemporary frame of reference but make some potent excursions to the past.

Chris Jones, Chicago Tribune

David Hyman’s costume designs range from the historical to the contemporary without ever looking out of place or anachronistic.

Dan Zeff, Stage and Cinema

The gripping sense of immediacy and potency owes everything to the combination of Collette Pollard’s remarkably spacious rock-and-brick set design, Sarah Hughey’s eloquent lighting, Mikhail Fiksel’s evocative sound scheme and David Hyman’s suggestively antique costumes.

Lawrence B. Johnson, Chicago on the Aisle
