"Until the last scene defeats everyone, Malcom Edwards draws fine, realistic performances from the women, from Robert Bownman (sharp, finger-flicking rotter), and from Alexis Denisof as the neat, considerate, fresh-cheeked chap Klara should have married." (complete text)
"It would take acting of genius to redeem this inelegantly translated exercise in mordibity and it fails to get it here, though Robert Bowman and Alexis Denisof have a brave shot in their roles as Klara's lovers." (complete text)
"But the actors, even though they seem too middle class, admirably avoid those terminal histrionics which Hebbel invites. Robert Jezek sounds and looks too well-heeled to be a joiner, but Alexis Denisof, as Klara's conscience-struck true love, contributes notes of authentic grief." (complete text)
