“One of the highlights of this production is Peter Brucker’s sound designs, which are perfectly suited to Chekhov’s nuanced dialogue, and are miraculous in such an outdoor environment with all the ambient sound intrusions, not to mention the inherent deadness of open air. Chekhov is famous for his offstage vocalizations, and Brucker’s microphones bring a level of near recording-studio-clarity, rarely heard even in indoor, acoustically controlled settings. The transition he achieves from formal music to surreal aural colorings in the second act is resonant of the work of Russian cinematic director Andrei Tarkovsky, especially in his transcendent film “Stalker.”"
Stuart Shepard, Pittsburgh Quarterly
“Peter Brucker’s sound engineering ensures that you hear every word of the play, even when the actors are off in the far distance”
Wendy Arons, The Pittsburgh Tattler
