“Matti Houghton delightfully portrays the timid Thea Elvsted.”

“The extremes of success and disaster belong to the human rollercoaster of Ejlert Lovborg brilliantly played by Lex Shrapnel.”

“A truly stunningly, stimulating production.” – The Stage

“...this is a first-rate and strongly cast production.”

“Lex Shrapnel's Lovborg conveys all the tensions of a potential genius who lacks the self-discipline to sustain his vision...” – The Guardian 4*

“Andrew Upton’s adaptation – first performed with his wife, Cate Blanchett, in the lead – is a tremendous help. Upton firmly grasps the lurking melodrama...”

“Intriguing, intelligent and highly recommended.” – The Telegraph 4*
