criticism
The reviews refer to the performances in the Landestheater Halle and not specifically to the television recording.
Rainer Kerndl states in New Germany :
“If only the overexertion with which the unmasking of the petty bourgeoisie is more placed than staged would not be continuously visible, Ruprecht's concern of attacking the poor mendacity and forlornness of the petty bourgeois triviality, it in every arrangement, every detail of the game, including the treatment of the text Pointing out the way of speaking turns the characters into caricatures in parts, and with Horvath they are not. Horvath wrote theater characters, not demonstration copies. "
In the Berliner Zeitung one could read from Christoph Trilsel:
"A number of well-managed actors, especially those who played with enthusiastic devotion to the cause, ensured an accurate and critical reproduction of the Horvath world in all its shades."
