“Izmir Ickbal’s set is simple, yet effective. Tree branches make up the fantasy world, where scrims allow the past and the present to combine. The set is inventive for a playing space the size of a postage stamp. “ — Times Square Chronicles

“Beyond wonderful performances, this is a production that also looks great. The minimalist set of cylinders and blocks in browns and beiges, designed by Izmir Ickbal and with a few branches set high up the only naturalistic touch, serves equally well as a forest, bar, or apartment; the scrim at the back of the stage is used to excellent effect…” — Thinking Theater NYC

“The set, is redolent of the best Jazz Age party you wish you could have gone to, complete with a pavilion of lights that by rights should be a permanent installation in Edgerton Park”. —- Brian Slattery, New Haven Independent

“There are smart and witty conceits throughout, from Izmir Ickbal’s handsome set which well-defines the busy landscape to clever comic inventions, including an Elizabethan rap and a wild Russian dance”. —- Frank Rizzo, Hartford Courant

"Izmir Ickbal’s gloriously artificial scenic design, which includes a gorgeous expanse of blue sky and dying trees dotting the horizon, is everything Beckett could have imagined. " -- Post-Chronicle

"...the red velvet curtain and old-fashioned scallop-shell footlights lend an antique charm that frames it too quaintly. " -- The New York Times

"Though entirely isolated in “Happy Days,” Winnie is never alone. She shares her vast mound of dirt (magnificently realized in Izmir Ickbal’s scenic design) with Willie." -- New Haven Register
