SEEN AND HEARD INTERNATIONAL *****
‘This was a stunning idea: or rather set of ideas….A remarkable evening.’
GUARDIAN ****
‘The puppets simultaneously distanced and universalised the story, their faces marmoreal, their limbs expressive, their voices compelling.’
THE TIMES ****
“…technically inventive concert staging.”
BACH TRACK ****
‘..ritualistic and uncanny, suspended between the abstract and the intensely felt. It hurt in all the right places, a deeply moving performance.’
ARTSDESK ****
‘The puppets, which Guthrie dubs ‘transitional objects’, paradoxically make the drama more human’.
