"It's an ambitious work, rich in theme and theatricality, yet Maxwell ties the elements together in a strong production that includes Ken MacDonald 's nautical set and lighting by Alan Brodie that shifts from naturalistic sea blue to a bloody red to evoke the play's central Faustian bargain."

“Alan Brodie’s lighting is notably assured, especially with the stunning gaslight interior of the third act. This is best-designed production I saw; however, the level of work at the Shaw Festival is uncommonly high, and I can’t wait to make a return visit to Niagara-on-the-Lake.”
