New Haven Independent - “all thanks to Riw Rakkulchon’s elegantly spare set”
Jim Rucco - “Riw Rakkulchon's idyllic milieu immediately conjures up fond memories of Broadway's "The Lion King," which, of course, is meant entirely as a compliment. It is beautiful. It is vast. It is breathtaking. It is original. It also complements the sweet-natured antiquity and raw beauty that is Illyria and its bold, futuristic mix of African intensity, royal intrigue and mystery.”

Broadway World:
“Not only are the actors marvelous, but the set, by Riw Rakkulchon, is beautiful: upstage, we see Jesse’s bedroom, in gentle grays, blues, and greens, and downstage, each man has space to break the fourth wall and speak his thoughts and feelings to us.”

Produced: The Civilians, Ensemble Studio Theatre
New York Times - “the smartly minimal production unfolds against a cool-gray monochrome interior, like a slate wiped clean. Frames that might display family portraits hang empty, and what could be a wall clock has no markings of time (the set design is by Riw Rakkulchon)”
Theatre Mania - “…Riw Rakkulchon's all-white set, in which photos have been painted over and the hands on the clock have been removed, works on multiple levels: It tells the story of a totalitarian regime attempting to create "year zero" by obliterating all memory of the past, but also a mother who purposefully obscures a family's history to protect her children. It could also represent Pia's utopian dream of removing painful memories…”

The minimalist set perfectly evokes the scene: three schoolroom benches, a grey background pierced with fluctuating bars of light, the whole framed by rusting, dark El girders and the tracks overhead. -Press&Sun Bulliten
