Teater Manu called Exit Hamlet "a journey in imagery, in which we meet five young performers going through constant change", and "a stage poem springing out from Shakespeare's world famous tragedy".
At the webpage of Teater Manu the following, among other things, is written about Exit Hamlet:
"Fundamental questions about being a human are raised. What gives life and what takes life? What is meaningful and what is not? Which are the choices we have, can we change, and can we change the lives we are leading? And eventually, what makes life worth living?
(...)
The production challenges in its openness, and gives the spectators the opportunity to create their own understanding. For Teater Manu this stage experiment is unique in the sense that it is linguistically universal. No voice actor will be used, because the word is not at the centre at this occasion. The visual, sense-oriented and direct emotional, aspects the hearing and the deaf have equal access to, is what the production puts its emphasis on."
