"Set designer Joseph Johnson’s cozy, gorgeously carpeted apartment is both refuge and prison for the loving, tight-knit family within."- Chicago Sun Times
"Set designer Joe Johnson draws the audience into a small, cramped apartment with very few places to hide—forcing the characters to learn each others’ secrets, whether they like it or not."- Third Coast Review
"Kudos to Selling Jabul’s impressive set design as well. The play offers a lovely, yet simple and convincing inside peak into a typical Afghan home, complete with small kitchen, counter, living room and sleeping arrangements. It is all packed into one small, claustrophobic apartment room, in the hustle and bustle of the busy and dangerous city of Kabul." -Splash Magazines
"No review of this show would be complete without mentioning the very realistic set. Northlight Theatre’s scenic setups are always top of the line, and this one by Joseph Johnson is definitely no exception." -People and Places
