SOURCE: Did They Like It? at 10:18PMOnce that descent begins, though, it’s a perverse thrill to the end. Aided by a masterful set change (the decaying scenery is by Takeshi Kata, spookily lit by Heather Gilbert), Cromer expe…

SOURCE: Did They Like It? at 10:18PM“Bug” is as intimate as it is intense. The set, designed by Takeshi Kata, drops the audience right into this specific place and time. The lightning, helmed by Heather Gilbert, and the so…
SOURCE: Did They Like It? at 10:18PMThe slipperiness of ostensible skepticism into utter credulity is what makes Bug continue to resonate so powerfully today. This is not just a particularly lurid folie à deux involving a pec…

SOURCE: Did They Like It? at 10:17PMIt goes without saying that “Bug” belongs to Coon, whose transfixing tour de force is reason enough to snap up a ticket immediately. The three-time Emmy nominee is every bit as ferocious…
