'Curlew River' reviews

'The story...is probably the simplets and, externally, most uneventful that has ever been enacted on a Western stage. The pace of physical events is proportionally slow-and the pace of psychological, musical action proportionately quick. It is all over in one calm, exciting flash of absolutely concinuous inspiration.' Hans Keller, The Spectator
