criticism
Ernst Schumacher says in the Berliner Zeitung :
"All in all, there is spectacular theater, dramatic expressiveness, uninhibited play of passionate feelings and thoughts, but also a noticeable lack of shape in the social background and perspective."
Helmut Ullrich wrote in the Neue Zeit :
"Manfred Wekwerth has mastered this historical drama powerfully: his staging in the Deutsches Theater creates an atmosphere of terror and violence, a panorama of feudal power struggles that trembles with sensual passion. Here Shakespeare's dramatic force comes to life unbroken."
