Trierischer Zeitung:
“This already begins with Christoph Weyers' original and surprising scenic solutions. His hell is a cabinet of horrors more whimsical than terrifying, with torture tools that look like they bought up the rusty leftovers of a 1950s B-movie production. The boss Mephista in Sarrebrücken, a bizarre sado-masochistic figure, looks more like a temple dancer from the "Tiger of Eschnapur" here.”
Da Capo:
“The elaborately designed set with a derelict ship in hell as the central element on a revolving stage and numerous lovingly crafted details skilfully captivates the audience.”
