Press coverage

Writer and date unknown, Morgenbladet [Oslo]:
"It is not easy to transfer Tove Janson to the stage, but Cirka Teater from Trondheim has succeeded in creating a production engaging the children."

Writer and date unknown, Vårt Land [Oslo]:
"The performance is a mix of fairytale reading, silent acting and shadow acting with music, good sound effects and a little bit of puppetry."
