‘Elinor Cook’s beautiful new version is transporting… unforgettable’
— 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 Ibsen’s great human comedy than that’
— The Arts Desk
‘Elinor Cook’s new version clarifies a familiar text… the dialogue [is] updated with a good deal of ingenuity’
— Guardian
