Quantum's 'Views' uses images to enhance playwright's themes

Pittsburgh Tribune-Review: "Despite the title of its next production -- '36 Views' -- Quantum Theatre hopes to treat its audiences to 37.
The 36 views in playwright Naomi Iizuka's multifaceted story refers to the number of scenes in the play. It's also a reference to two famous series of 18th-century Japanese woodblock prints, in which the artist Hokusai depicted Mt. Fuji and three dozen Heian-era Japanese poetesses, one of whom may have inspired Iizuka's play."
