“The director, Martin Glaser, interprets Havel’s play as a parlour comedy, almost a grotesque, stressing humour inherent in both the situations and wordplays, using stylized hyperbole maintained with aplomb and precision by the actors. The play is strengthened by the production’s contemporary stage design and deeply enhanced by the acting by Jiří Šesťák as Chancellor Rieger. Clever, meaningful and extremely entertaining piece of theatre.” (J. Herman, Divadelní noviny 2, 2009).
Other reviewers also heap praise on Budějovice production.
