"Unknown Soldier -- an extraordinary, haunting, deeply affecting musical that is having its world premiere at Williamstown Theater Festival's Nikos Stage, begins on a stage of grey -- deep and wide; exposed. Long and short library tables and chairs with low slung fluorescent lights hanging over them dot the stage. There are boxes everywhere -- gray file boxes -- and there is activity -- young men and women, old-fashioned yellow No. 2 pencils in hand, poring over documents, comparing notes. High on the rear wall is a handless clock. Time, timelessness will factor into Unkown Soldier. So does transformation. As the story begins and unfolds, this stage becomes something magical." -- Jeffery Borak, Berkshire Eagle
