Weiss’ ‘Happy Days’ is masterful: a stark and intelligent interpretation that will leave aftershocks in its audience. Go and see this play!

POV International

A terrible present, a future, that will only get worse, so all you can do is draw on the past. And you can retreat to imagination. The Cheyenne Are Leaving is intellectually challenging theatre.

It is a pure pleasure listening to Sue Hansen- Styles’s elegant diction as she superbly demonstrates just how skilled an actor she really is as she draws our attention into Asmussen’s abstract and intense universe poignant loneliness and longing for love.

Sceneblog

MAIREAD is excellently written by the young Danish-Serbian Tanja Mastilo, as with a hint of stifling suspense a lá Agatha Christie, as well provocative unresolved a lá Beckett, has produced an inciting intense story that really questions the differences between ants, lions and people. A little new classic is born.

Scenekanten

“At the end of the play, we are again emotionally battered by the poor characters on stage, and once again totally spellbound. Concepts like love, passion and revenge will never be the same again after having seen MAIREAD. “ (5 stars)
