At the website of The National Theatre, the following, among other things, is written about As You Like It:

"The comedy is filled to the brim with royal complications and romantic intrigues, undisguised randiness, song and music. In the role of the God Hymen, the ceremonial master of marriage, we find singer Bertine Zetlitz, who with her band lead us through the story onstage. We can promise celestial love stories and heavy losses of love, but even though it may seem hopeless, it will all end well. For poetry and love always win!"

The Hedda Jury gave the following reason for the direction award to Sigrid Strøm Reibo:

"Throughout the past decade or so, this year's direction winner has worked her way to a position as one of Norway's foremost younger directors. The award winner has developed a distinct character, a signature that can be referred to as musical as well as playful, sure in style and complex. Repeatedly, she has proven that she is capable of insightful instruction of her actors, providing each character with nuanced individual characteristics while maintaining a coherent, accordant whole. The two productions for which she receives this year's award can also be defined through their similarities as well as their differences. Both of them both pay tribute to and raise the difficulties of the human capacity for transformation. Both discuss the power of changing identity, gender confusion and the meaning of love in human life. Both are solved with an overview rich in detail plus the infectious joy of storytelling."
