The Mousetrap
Hilberry Repertory Theatre
Detroit, Michigan
Directed By: David Magidson
Lighting Design By: Heather DeFauw
SCENIC DESIGN BY: CURTIS GREEN
2012
"The first thing you notice about this “Mousetrap” is the atmospheric set design by Curtis Green. He has used mature, leafless birch trees, lit a frosty blue, as the backdrop for his cozily decorated stage. As snow falls outside the tall, burnished windows of Monkswell Manor, the characters deliver their lines in and around well-worn but comfortable overstuffed chairs."

"If there is a single standout in this production, it is the brilliant scenic design by Curtis Green, with lighting by Heather DeFauw. Monkswell Manor is represented by elegant period furniture set in a mahogany framework to suggest the entrance, windows, doors and layout of the room. This leaves us with a view over, around and through the set to the snowstorm outside and the ominous, barren white trees and snow drifts that surround and trap the characters within."

"Before the show even starts, the audience is greeted with the magnificent set of Monkswell Manor Guest House in London, England. Vintage furniture fills a sitting room with walls of cherry wood. Through the windows, the bare trees and falling snow are visible."

"It was nice to see a really intricate and detailed set for “Mousetrap.” Occasionally, Hilberry seems to lean toward the less complicated. But, the scenic design of this show is absolutely wonderful — from the snow machine and trees to the thoughtful vintage furniture that decorates Mr. and Mrs. Ralston’s Monkswell Manor. The lighting softly augments the gorgeous scenery."
