“Thoroughly well put together ... A strong and moving staging by Orpha Phelan, of a strong and moving work. Too much for anyone ... but it is great art.”
Søren Kassebeer, Berlingske ******
“Staged with great understanding by Irish director, Orpha Phelan.”
Knud Cornelius, Frederiksborg Amts Avis *****
“In Orpha Phelan’s direction the story flows clearly. Her staging is solid. ... A brilliant design.”
Carlhåkan Larsén, HD
“The audience is saved no details. Experiencing this production of Dead Man Walking is like watching a film immersed in a large musical aquarium of emotions. Depicted vividly with cinematic accuracy….this is a sharply staged production.”
Politiken *****
“No imperfections in this production of Orpha Phelan’s where the staging and design are expansive, yet flexible.”
Peter Dürrfeld, Kristeligt Dagblad *****
Performances run till 11 March 2017.
