The Prisoner

'Achieves a magnificent balance of stillness, relaxation and narrative tension; compelling us to pause, to breathe and to reflect, but also moving the story towards its end with the inevitability and energy of a natural force, harnessed by an absolute master'

* Scotsman *

'Elliptical and surprisingly witty… there is a delicious lightness at play, however profound the play’s contemplations'

* Herald *

'Only its mystery equals the simplicity of this strange fable'

* Le Monde *

'The force of the show lies precisely in its ellipses, the empty spaces it offers to our emotions, sensations and to our intelligence'

* Télérama *

'During one hour and fifteen minutes, the Earth stops spinning at its maddening speed, to allow Brook to whisper in our ear one of his beautiful universal stories'

* Les Echoes *

'The work of an artist for whom the human heart has no secrets and who knows the revealing and consoling force of theatre'

* Le Figarosco
