“From the opening tableau of three women half-suspended within rectangluar openings in the back wall...it’s clear this is going to be a sensual, beautiful evening. The first part of the trilogy based on Ms. Lahiri's story ‘The treatment of Bibi Halder’ and swathed in saffron cloths and warm lights... The second part, from Chekhov’s ‘Betrothed’ cool and white...”

The New York Times

“On Susan Zeeman Rogers’ sandstone-colored, henna-tattoo-decorated groundcloth…three tall rectangular niches in the back wall, complimenting the Ohio Theater’s permanent columns, highlight our three heroines… Lovely images, such as the long saffron and orange silk banners wrapped around Kakkar like a giant flower with her glowing face at its center… Nadya’s dilemma is ingeniously staged with a pair of transparent castered screens that nudge and spin the girl to evoke her romantic fever.”

Variety

“…the sheer wealth of talent that has been brought together in this piece - particularly in its design team - makes it a theatrical event to be reckoned with. Susan Zeeman Rogers’ scenic design and Oana Botez-Ban’s costumes are beautiful, elegant and fully functional – indicating the cultural touchstones of three societies that are represented while still providing a unifying stylistic throughline.”
