What the critics said:
"The show's remarkably skillful cast uses an array of devices, ranging from song and dance to large videos projects on the walls to live video with enormous close-ups of the actors underlining action."
- Pat Craig, Contra Costa Times
"The masterful comic actors of Theatre de la Jeune Lune set off gales of laughter."
- Robert Hurwitt, San Francisco Chronicle
"Berkeley Repertory's massive Roda stage, left largely bare, provides ample scope for Jeune Lune's audacious production, which includes operatic performances by a talented 10-member cast and wall-size video designs, which alternately cast the impression of once-lavish, now destitute surroundings and channel a live feed for some extreme and affecting closeups."
- Robert Avila, San Francisco Bay Guardian
