"...so good I would like to recommend it wildly and without limitations to everyone who is or has been a child. Like that. Now THAT is said."

"...a very successful tribute to the great poet of Denmark, and a charming key to his poetic, yet down-to-earth universe."

Bjørn H. Larssen, Nordlys:

"...we could only thank and bow for a delightful theatre experience, also for us with some year behind us."
