Dramatically focused and unobtrusively intelligent
*Financial Times*
Compelling - this play challenges the audience - recommended.
*Public Reviews*
Schimmelpfennig's slow burn of a play offers another way of seeing
- The beauty of the piece, and Ramin Gray's production, is that it
reveals itself quietly and gradually - its intelligence and
thoughtfulness is apparent
*4 stars - The Guardian*
Schimmelpfennig succeeds in making abstract notions about
globalisation - and immigration - grippingly tangible - served up
with copious helpings of inventive wit.., superb
*Telegraph*
Provocative and playful - the surreal theatricality of this
distinctive piece is vigorously conveyed
*Evening Standard*
The play works by restraint - weaving its spell slowly but surely,
with a spider's web delicacy - There are strong elements of folk
tale to this story of exploitation in a globalised economy.
Schimmelpfennig uncovers the nasty things that get shoved out of
the sight of well-fed Westerners.
