Reviews
„A refined and professional production. María gives an excellent performance as the philosophy student Margrét, creating a highly believable character shaped with discipline and a fine sense of the boundary between comedy and seriousness.“
„Apart from Þorsteinn, María Ellingsen draws particular attention with a splendid performance; she shares with him one of the funniest scenes in the play.“
„Still to be mentioned is María Ellingsen in the small part of Margrét. From this and her other roles, I can only conclude that an outstanding actor has arrived. It was admirable how the role of Margrét was shaped so that it came vividly alive on stage – the most memorable scene of the evening.“
