B.J., 10.03.1980, Helt suveren Ibsen-oppsetting på DNS (literally: Totally superior Ibsen performance at DNS), Dagen:
"A long time, a very long time, goes by between every time we have experienced a stronger and more thoroughly successful theatre production than John Gabriel Borkman by Henrik Ibsen, as it was presented at DNS Saturday evening. Here, one only has to say a heartfelt thank you for a piece of performing arts of the kind that despite time and epochs touches us humans the same way it did 80-90 years ago."
