Outstanding lighting by Mark Thomason highlight not only the real but most especially the super-real aspects of this epic play.

Mark Thomason’s lighting is superb! Such lighting effects and shading have not been seen at Lakewood Playhouse in its storied history.

Emilie Rommel Shimkus, review of A Doll’s House, Harlequin Productions. Lighting Design by Mark Thomason.
The first thing that hits you is the set, and rightly so: director Noel Koran and designer Mark Thomason have recreated with charred beams, crooked ladders and hessian curtains a world of desperate poverty, watched by recreations of German artist Käthe Kollwitz’ charcoal drawings of starving beggars.
