"[an] outstanding version... This is a high point of the Young Vic's 40th anniversary season."–
The Stage "Fosse jettisons all the conventional rules of drama... seems like a meditation on language... the play grips because it appeals to something fundamental: it shows two cornered human beings in an extreme situation and demonstrates the power of love. [a] hypnotic production... cryptically haunting" 4 stars Michael Billington–
The Guardian "[it] exerts a beguiling, hypnotic pull... [the [production is] unusual, extraordinary, weird, and beautiful... must see" 4 stars - Michael Coveney–
whatsonstage.com "Fosse's subject is the human condition, and this sparsely written play pares down the question of existence to its bare essentials... Chéreau's production is a masterclass in minimalism, perfectionism and maybe a dozen other isms. Who cares? It tells Fosse's story wonderfully well... colloquial and poetic.. Go on, give it a go!"–
