| | Didaskalia - Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-09) |
 | | One key directorial choice is the fragmentation of the original chorus into an intellectual component and a lyrical dimension, while keeping the visual focus on the young, mute refugees part of the original script. |
 | | Brooke Stanton's costume design is uniformly contemporary with Iolaus, Copreus and Demophon in politico formalwear, Macaria in jeans, t-shirt and platform boots, and Alcmene in a dark, shapeless burka, timeless in its evocation of the Middle East. |
 | | At first pleading and suppliant, Triska proves both a logical, feisty and effective opponent for Copreus, a doting grandfather for Macaria and a self-sacrificing optimist ready to fight for his freedom. |
