It was first broadcast in color on October 22, 1988 in the second program of GDR television .

criticism

Helmut Ullrich said in the Neue Zeit that it is not for everyone how much people fantasize and speculate about being and becoming. The piece has a solid foundation of humor and comedy that gives it a solid theatrical substance, and to which director Rolf Winkelgrund also stuck to. What he discovers and shows is Barlach's realism.

Ernst Schumacher from the Berliner Zeitung found that the performance was a successful remake for Ernst Barlach , of course triggering the desire to have the Barlach from Güstrow now followed by Claus Hammel from Parchim, who said that the changes in Mecklenburg were not utopian, inner-human, otherworldly, but real, socially, here and now, shaped.

Gerhard Ebert wrote in Neues Deutschland that Der Blaue Boll was a successful addition to the schedule with a play by a humanist.
