"Scenic Design by Gabby Trice compliments the vision flawlessly. This set is a character all on its own. Furniture pieces are appropriately worn (but beautiful); cobwebs are meticulously and functionally placed"
"...with shadowy lighting (designed by Charlie Raschke) and a foreboding, dark scenic design (Gabby Trice). Know seldom puts as much detail into a set as this one: The interior of the Ravenside Inn is a shadowy gray space, full of draped antique furniture, a grandfather clock, cobwebs, and swirling mists."
