Press Reviews

"'GINT' is a celebration and re-creation of Peer Gynt…the play is both utterly faithful to its original and a joy in itself.“ —The Journal of The Ibsen Society of America. ”The play has speed and humor. Romulus Linney has been loyal, almost reverent, to Ibsen's text.“ —Klassekampen (Norway). ”Behold a small miracle!…This version of the story can clearly and dramatically involve today's audience, perhaps even more so than Peer Gynt."
— Shepherd Express (Milwaukee)
