«This production is a great deal more than a musical cabaret of beloved songs. It’s a story not just about resilience, but about the necessity of resilience. It’s a story of vulnerability and strength – of strength in vulnerability and of vulnerability in strength. It’s about a whole person, a full person, and an interesting person. In an era where there’s yet again a need to state what should be self-evidently obvious – that black lives matter – it feels topical, yet true to its time, yet timeless.»
Lillian Bikset, teaterkritiker i Dagbladet og i Norsk Shakespearetidsskrift
