Recenzii

...an incisive 21st-century version of Chekhov. ****
'... something genuinely moving and at times euphoric'.
'There's something generously honest in Heisenberg about ordinariness. With humour and a low-level ache of sadness, it tunes into those small, often overlooked encounters that can spin people's lives off in new directions'.
Classics are there to be reinvented, and the risks that this reinvention takes involve no loss of Chekhovian essence while adding a lot in terms of characters that a 2017 audience might relate to.
