| Julia Noulin-Merat's set, a series of framed black-and-white images built around the tapestry Wilde puts centerstage and suggesting the blurring of the moral spectrum. by Carolyn Clay Review: Ideal Husband August 17, 2010 The Boston Phoenix And as any Wilde production should be, this one is a feast for the eyes. Molly Trainer's tasty gowns, hats, stoles and cravats are several notches above your average quick-change wardrobe. The set by Julia Noulin-Merat conveys lavish Victorian clutter without overdoing it. Wilde ride in Gloucester by Jenna Scherer August 17, 2010 Boston Herald Under the sure-handed direction of Karen MacDonald, with an adaptation by Daniel Morris, a handsome set by Julia Noulin-Merat, and elegant period costumes by Molly Trainer, Gloucester Stage Company's new production of "An Ideal Husband" is faithful to Wilde's insouciant but penatrating spirit.
