'I think that it is an excellent example of Commedia dell'Arte and would flow brilliantly into a pastiche project for the pupils.' J Pain, Drama Teacher and Independent Reviewer
'For our purpose of teaching genre it would work very well... introducing students to a style of theatre they may not be aware of and giving them the opportunity to examine what humour is all about.' R Farish, Acting Head of Drama and Independent Reviewer
