“…The superb settings, by The Brothers Quay (Pennsylvania born twins who studies at the Royal College of Art in London) reflect Brandstrup’s wish to tell the story ‘in a modern version, but with antiquity close at hand’…Brandstrup does sustain a continuous flow of movement, never submerged by mime…”

"The choreography is serious, perceptive. The general dances and scene-setting in Act 1 are effective; the second act is emotionally taut, beautifully conceived; the third act would benefit from editing to maintain the tension of the previous act. But the piece is a success, and is in everything helped by an admirable score from Kim Helweg, a musician working in the Royal Theatre. Atmospheric, dramatic and a very considerable achievement."

" The images are mesmerizing and the drama emerges out of the mundane - where time stands still and the message resonates the universal"
