  • "A powerful and inspiring play in search of freedoms long
    forgotten." Parikiaki Newspaper, London 1991

  • "Nina Rapi has succeeded in creating a female character, whose
    despair makes her oscillate between silent containment and
    manic behaviour. Hara's obsession with inventing her own
    reality is reminiscent of Alan Bennett's self-deceivers, and also
    some of Pirandello's female characters. Yet what is interesting
    in the play - and different form Bennet and Pirandello - is Hara's
    gradual awakening." Margaret Rose in the chapter on Nina Rapi
    in the book Monologue Plays for Female Voices, Tirrenia
    Stampatori, Torino, Italy 1995
