...times these characters verged on stereotype—a result of the play’s writing that aided the mostly freshman cast. For while it is a portrait of a generation, ”Chronicles” is told through Heidi’s memory, and her own viewpoint colors the impression of her surroundings.

A modern, poppy red couch with a curved back; 19th-century Chinese embroideries and Turkish prayer rugs; a portrait of his grandfather in a mirroredArt Deco frame; a self-portrait made by his son—there isn’t a single time period or style that dominates the living room.
