“En stor del af tekstens charme er, at vi får et tydeligt billede af parrets verden, typer og klasseforskelle gennem lokale referencer. Og her er oversætter Maria Laumark virkelig lykkedes med at overføre originalteksten fra Essex til Aarhus. (...) de lokale referencer forankrer karaktererne i en genkendelig virkelighed uden for det minimalistiske scenerum. ”
Anmeldelser for ‘Midt i Livet’
