New York Times writer Mel Gussow called it "a three-ring circus of a comedy, cataloguing the injustices - and the sheer craziness - of civilization". [http://theater2.nytimes.com/mem/theater/treview.html?res=9400E0D91038F934A35751C0A964948260]

Vatzlav is a comedic farce that turns political at every stage. A family has a grown son who wears diapers and is a bear. Oedipus Rex is an old blind man and the protector of all things right. A Genius has a daughter called Justice, who must be 'revealed' to the world. And theres Vatzlav himself, stuck on the island with them.
