* The Observer *'One of the strangest and most haunting of Ibsen's works Elinor Cook's sharp adaptation and relocation to a post-colonial British island manages to update the proceedings while also emphasising the social expectations that make this less of a paradise than it looks for the female characters in the play draws on its Caribbean setting for some fine moments of humour'
* Independent *'In Elinor Cook's strong new adaptation... could have been written yesterday a beautiful, delicate and universal portrayal of human relationships at their most complex'
* WhatsOnStage *'Profoundly beautiful what you take away are both lightness and depth, and there could be no greater honour to the balancing act of Ibsens great human comedy than that'
