“Mr. Curran, in his overdue Covent Garden debut, ensures that the modern accouterments are tellingly used to work hand-in-hand with a taut staging of the core drama.”
George Loomis, New York Times, April 2011
“A Russian rarity proves to be a real treasure in a production set amid the trappings of new money.”
…[a] compelling study of power and powerlessness in Curran's staging.
…this is a riveting performance of a violent, delirious melodrama.”
Anna Picard, The Independent, April 2011
