"Most of the installations hit a sweet spot in the middle, with the audio performances mellowing the tone, as though each playwright were speaking to a friend...Throughout the production, it’s the details that delight...In fact, there’s so much to see that 'A Dozen Dreams' can overload the senses, making it likely you’ll miss something — an excuse to revisit it."

If the scope occasionally feels out of balance in other rooms, it’s easily forgivable."
