Much is owed to the lush design, and in particular the ravishing set by Jo Winiarski. The textured, red-patterned walls, adorned with oil paintings and chandeliers, appear as a stately aristocratic mansion but are arranged in slightly off-kilter geometric lines and house assorted unexpected delights. The scenery is magnificently lit by Paul Miller to provide a consistent color palette of the all-encompassing reds, and beyond, deep blue and burnished gold. The sumptuous costumes by Patrick Holt and hair/makeup by Tami Lee Thompson add to the sweeping, yet intimate dichotomy of the piece.
