The Times
'Excellent performances from Rod Matthew, Nick Field (who doubles, in a neat irony, as Stauffenberg and Goebbels), and, above all, a luminous Cerrie Burnell as Brunhilde, sustain it throughout.'

The Guardian
'Shaban makes much of the irony of Goebbels, a man with a club foot, pursuing a policy against "inferior" human beings while trying to distinguish between those who were disabled from birth and those whose disability was acquired. The play makes it clear that the distinction is a philosophical one. The experience of disability does not depend on whether you are war-wounded or have an inherited condition. It could affect any of us'

Edinburgh Evening News
'a prime example of what theatre is capable of....stand-out performances from several of the cast...this hidden holocaust has been largely ignored by history. With writing and performances as good as this it's unlikely to remain hidden for very much longer'

The Herald
'Nick Field fares much better in the demanding multiple roles of Goebbels, von Stauffenberg and a rebellious doctor, Robyn Hunt is also strong as the passionate but controlled Heidi, and Cerrie Burnell makes the most of the underwritten role of saintly nurse Brunhilde'
