"Peter Joucla has created a skillful and adaptable set design which enabled the actors to change from one scene to the other in a very effective way. Watching this performance was a simple joy." On Pygmalion, Der Patriot – Lippstader Zeitung, March 2011
"The young theatre goers were very much entertained and amused by the excellent direction which allowed everyone to follow the story without an advanced knowledge of French." On Le Petit Prince, Remscheider General Anzeiger, February 2011
"[the production]... handsomely designed in red, white and black by Vali Mahlouji, gives vivid life to the rhetorical oppositions - of poetic and demonic language, of spittle and jewels, of rubber gloves and evening gloves - that structure the piece. " On Lacombe Lucien, Robert Shore, Time Out, 2003
"Effective live music and a skilful use of props. At the end of the performance the audience clearly demonstrated their obvious enjoyment with a huge and lasting applause." On Le Petit Prince, Siegener Zeitung, Feb 2011
"A moving, convincing and entertaining mis en scene, consistent in every detail." On Pygmalion, Landsberger Tagblatt, Feb 2011
"Abel Aboualiten was exactly as one would imagine Monsieur Ibrahim would be, and gives his character wisdom and a joy for life." On Monsieur Ibrahim et Les Fleurs du Coran, Schwabische Zeitung, March 2011
"Delightful fun greeted with tumultuous applause and whistles of approbation." On Pygmalion, Ludenscheider
"Hats off for the director Peter Joucla who succeeds in taking the story from the realm of fantasy to the stage without losing any of the magic." Schwäbische Zeitung, December 2004
"This new adaptation of George Orwell's 1984 continues a brilliant Tour De Force tradition." Schweinfurter Tagblatt
"Mind-blowing...gruesomely beautiful." On The Ghosts of Poe, Frankische Handeszeitung
"The virtuosic ensemble built a bridge into the hearts of all the children in the audience." On The Jungle Book, Frankische Landeszeitung, February 2005
