'At last the Royal Exchange comes up with a show that lives up to its premier league status. Strindberg's strange one-act tragedy is not easy to bring to life, but Braham Murray's production gives the text a rarely seen coherence and conviction...securing three triumphantly authentic performances. Amanda Donohoe is immaculate...'
Robin Thornber The Guardian

'...a spellbinding and thought-provoking evening.'
Alex Lindsay Sunday Express

'...too many actors find it impossible to perform...Amanda Donohoe manages beautifully...The combination of Donohoe and Strindberg's doomed young noblewoman is inspired.'
Ian Shuttleworth Financial Times
