Writer and date unknown, VG [Oslo]:
"That Henrik Ibsen captured a living, universal image of a woman in the middle of a liberation process, can currently be seen at Black Box Teater, where the Norwegian/Indian/Pakistani theatre company Azad Theatre last night opened Ibsen's A Doll's House [...] (the performance) is in many ways an unusual theatre experience, in what concerns acting style and detail treatment. But the production has thoroughly solid credibility in its depiction of the community and the persons, and there are some intense moments, tearing down all cultural differences."
Writer and date unknown, Dagbladet [Oslo]:
"It is not often that we who stand on the outside get a glimpse into Norwegian immigrant communities, and the occasion to see Ibsen hugged to the breast of a theatre company with such desire. Azad Theatre's A Doll's House gives us the chance."
