...probing and drawing out of these characters, top-level production aids Aaron's direction. Donald Bourne's semi-abstract setting facilitates the intrusions into Willy's mind, and with the addition of Jordan Jelke's complex and intelligent lighting, makes the many swift transitions of mood and locale neat and effective.

Designed to eliminate human errors in data-processing, Project Lincoln's electronic devices assemble and evaluate battle information, and even direct the attack of interceptors.
