Great play - By: N. Hall, 27 Nov 2005
This play is wonderful. When I first read it I thought bleuck, but as I had to analyse it I realised just how good it is!

One problem though.... this translation mistakes the german word for billion as million & million as thousand. It doesn't matter much to the play itself but if doing it for exams etc, it's important to know

An excellent play, both funny and menacing. - By: mmh9@hotmail.com, 24 Aug 2001
I studied this play on a Brecht course as an undergraduate & found it very refreshing: it is funny, sad, original & enjoyable. Claire is a fantasticallly strong character & Ill's destitute neighbours are predictably mercenary - buying items on credit in anticipation of Claire's wish being fulfilled. It explore's the power of consumerism & industry while also looking at the more standard themes of love & betrayal.
