Writer and date unknown, 1994, Arbeiderbladet [Oslo]:
"Teater X, led by Kenneth Dean, is able to present a thoroughly worked-through, intelligently staged and, as the acting gets tighter, bitingly funny version [...] Visually, the performance moves through a contemporary no man's land, stage design and costumes make it seem like a kind of modern age of knights. But first and foremost a devilish box of toys."
Writer and date unknown, 1994, Klassekampen [Oslo]:
"Finally, we just want to tell Bohemians and the bourgeoise and all the friends of pataphysics: Get your ass out of your chair, and go to see this deluge so that you are prepared when it comes. This is a vitamin pill against spiritual slackness."
