Press
In her Basel debut, Jaz Woodcock-Stewart has created a clearly executed and multi-layered stage experience that you can take in, with thoroughly touching moments.
-Nachtkritik
We are in the theater and get what we want: loud and quiet, comedic and tragic, dancing circus-like, saddened to death.
-Südkurier
An ingenious trick: two versions of the Wingfields' home can be seen in the course of the evening. A profound and hugely recommendable evening of theater.
-BaZ
Jan Bluthardt is convincing with his oppressive psychogram of a broken being who is only able to suppress his aggression towards his overbearing mother with difficulty. And Antoinette Ullrich is touching with her sad defiance, which isolates her from the outside world.
-BZ Basel
Jaz Woodcock-Stewart takes up the classic and brings it into the present. 80 years later and more relevant than ever.
