Press Quotes
"Choreographing a verbal dance between Brown and lighting and sound designer Robert Oriol must have been no small feat. Oriol provides crisp, perfectly executed design elements, including a virtual underscoring of effects and perfectly chosen song snippets." - Backstage.com, May 2005"John Shear's direction is tight and the show's design first-rate, particularly Robert Oriol's lighting and sound design, which turns Karyl Newman's blue set into a convincing approximation of an isolation tank." - Los Angeles Times, June 2005
"The lighting and design of Robert Oriol are an integral element of the show and are done to precision. Neurotica clearly stands out in a class of show that is too frequently mediocre." - Metro LA, May 2005
"Set designer Karyl Newman's aluminum-foil floor and Robert Oriol's lighting create realistic waterlike reflections. Oriol, who also provides the numerous inventive sound effects, adds torturously unnerving dripping noises to accentuate the atmosphere." - Variety, May 2005
