PRESS
"Director Amy Stebbins relies less on "explaining" the inner and outer conflicts with a didactic pointer finger. Instead, she weaves the entanglements of power and love into a very imaginative play of coexistence and conflict. We see the silhouette of a city, individual houses. These stage houses are accessible: behind every window there is life, behind every door there is a possible danger. This is beautifully illuminated - and works dramaturgically and dramatically outstandingly well. ... A lively and empathetic play unfolds on stage, where feelings of love are vividly and expressively set against deceit and mere lust for power."
- Anno Lücker, Opernwelt
"With impressive authenticity, Amy Stebbins portrays this disorienting thriller through psychologically astute direction, alternating between tension-filled two-person constellations and ensemble arrangements."
- Hildesheimer Allgemeine Zeitung
