US Reviews
The New York Times – 27.07.11

“performed with idiomatic richness by the Druid’s fine cast”
The Huffington Post – 27.07.11
“Hynes’s cast is uniformly strong”
“Hynes has – with the immeasurable aide of set designer Francis O’Connor – given the play a stunning look.”
Theatermania – 27.07.11
“director Garry Hynes’ astonishing staging for Ireland’s Druid Theatre coalesces into a profoundly moving theatrical experience.”
