“The inner dynamism of the play and the frenzy of the exceptional cast catches the audience’s attention.”

Dinu Grigorescu, Radio Cultural Magazine – Exemplary Season Opening at the National Theatre of Bucharest   

“The translation of the play into the show from the National Theatre of Bucharest, coordinated by Ion Caramitru, features a killing feminism. But it is not very lenient with men either. (...) Beyond the real amusement offered by the new show of the National Theatre of Bucharest and the apparent lightness of the comedy, the text – enriched through the enactment and acting performance – proposes several serious topics for thought and quite a few revelations.”

Gabriela Hurezean, Muses and Arms – NTB Premiere: Knitting Feelings. Loosely  

“Aptly gliding between satire and humour, this shows overthrows prejudices and dismantles mentalities (machismo, marriage, friendship). Contradicting the stereotype of housewives, the heroines invite the spectators to better understand that relationships are often built through simple techniques, such as knitting. Loose Knit remains a show from the area of quality entertainment, inviting to honesty in intimacy.”   

Madalina Dumitrache, Bel-Esprit.ro – When Penelope Knits… - Loose Knit  

“A feminist comedy of manners, with extremely piercing retorts, a more mature “Sex and the city”, more adequate to Romanian and worldwide realities, with characters ascongenial as the ones from the well-known series, but more authentic. Thus, depending on the life stage they are in, almost any woman can recognize herself in one of the characters built with generosity by Theresa Rebeck.”
