Marc Miller takes a look at Sugar in Our Wounds:
Upstage center in Donja R. Love's Sugar in Our Wounds is, as the Playbill says, "a tall, tall tree." Arnulfo Maldonado has designed it to a fare-thee-well, a massive willow with a trunk the size of a conversation pit and branches that drip beguilingly from the rafters, so that when several characters declare that it stretches all the way up to heaven, you can understand their believing that. It's gorgeously lit, by Jason Lyons, spilling intricate leafy shadows across City Center Stage II. Also, the tree sings and talks. In fact, it won't shut up. . . . |
