"Cave & Ellis were inspired choices for the soundtrack, which is light, unobtrusive, yet always there and quietly, darkly contributive. Sometimes fragile and beautiful, it culminates in a full-blown song; classically Cave"

"With music, composed by Mr. Nick Cave and Mr. Warren Ellis that sets the tone brilliantly and a set, built over two levels, designed by Mr. Borkur Jonsson, we are transported into another reality that is both horrifying and at times funny"

"The opening half hour of the production is washed and coloured by a musical score by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis, sound design by Nick Manning, that is at once dreamy and poignant and lures in the viewer with a subliminal sense of well being. This is soon turned upside down, along with Gregor's world. The presence of sound and the idea of the unbearable quality of Gregor's utterances then gradually becomes more and more disturbing. Cave's final gentle threnody is beautiful"

"As the story works its way to its inevitable, tragic conclusion, the audience is also aware of a solemn, minimalist soundtrack provided by Nick Cave and Warren Ellis of the Bad Seeds. When Cave's famous baritone emerges in the twistedly euphoric final scene, it marks the climax of a truly special night of theatre"
