Dresdner Nachrichten:
“In addition to the wittily told story, it is above all the great sets and clever details that make the whole thing not only worth listening to - Markus Günzel and Frank Ernst shine as the detectives, Bettina Weichert as the criminal antagonist - but also worth seeing. There is a mast shadow flicking across the stationary train, feigning a ride. Ah yes, the deception. The world wants to be deceived, sings the false Sherlock.”
Dresdner Morgenpost:
“The story has the best timing and is equally well staged, with its period costumes, skilful dancing and an original changeable stage.”
Sächsiche Zeitung:
“Christoph Weyers has skilfully draped the innumerable images on a revolving stage and in front of a projection curtain, so that the play runs smoothly without long breaks, the locations are clear and the space is in harmony. With the chic immaculate costumes in the style of the period, its visual setting is perfectly suited to the needs of the production.”
