What the critics said

 «Saucy, trenchant, with a feel for the right degree of ‹modernisation›, the author puts the story about the confusing events in the woods near Athens into the mouth of his enchanting Puck (Nicholas Ofczarek).» (Der Standard)

«The Tonkunstler under Kristjan Järvi play the work attentively and with a feel for great moments.» (Kronen Zeitung)
