Team haben ein witziges Werk geschaffen, das neben dem Umgang mit Büchern auch das Leben in den USA zum
Thema hat. (3 von 3 Sternen)“
Sabine Thiele (teacher, Otto-NagelGymnasium): “We were so impressed
and astonished how you could manage
to turn books into life. A really great job!”
Yorck Enke (student, Otto-Nagel-Gymnasium): ”... I really enjoyed listening to

Peter Scollin
EXBERLINER: “... the actors do an extraordinary job of portraying the complex ideologies and emotions that go
into the sometimes oversimplified immigration debate.”
ZITTY: „Anja Scollins Inszenierung …
verwässert die Geschichte nicht mit kitschiger Moral, sondern verlässt sich in
Konrad Schallers effektivem Bühnenbild
aus Kartonsteinen auf die darstellerische
Kraft ihres Ensembles. Und Melissa Holroyd, Andrea Pani Laura, Kenneth Phillips und Christian Serritiello - selbst
Migranten in unserem Land - lassen die
Geschichte von Hoffnung und Fremdenphobie aus den fernen USA bei uns
leben.“
DER TAGESSPIEGEL online: „Dabei
gelingt es ihm [Peter Scollin] und seinen
vier Darstellern im BKA Theater, Boyles
zeitgenössische Version von Steinbecks
„Früchte des Zorns“ mit einfachen Mitteln in ein kurzweiliges Kammerspiel zu
verwandeln.“

Zitty: „In Sachen Glaubwürdigkeit bekommt das zweisprachige Platypus

SEE YOU LATER NAVIGATOR
dass es keine pädagogische Botschaft
gibt, die sagt, dass Kartensammeln blöd
ist. Viel wichtiger sind hier die Themen
Freundschaft und Mut. Ganz nebenbei
wechseln die jungen Darsteller zwischen
Deutsch und Englisch und erklären englische Begriffe. Turbulent und spannend,
realistisch und lehrreich.“
blz (Berliner Lehrerzeitung): „Spannende Verwicklungen, wilde Bühnenkämpfe und ganz viele einfache
Vokabeln und verständliche englische
Sätze – und natürlich ein happy ending.“

NWZ Neue Württembergische Zeitung:

Zitty: „ ...die wunderbar witzige
Sprachspielerei hat das Zeug zum Dauerbrenner!“
Neues Deutschland: „Die absurde Situation, die lustigen Dialoge und die
Spielfreude der drei Darsteller verhindern jegliche Zeigefingermoral. [….] alle
drei schaffen spielend den Spagat zwischen knalligem Comicspaß und Hintergründigem.“
Iserlohner Kreisanzeiger und Zeitung: „Mit seinem erfrischenden Stück
macht das Berliner Theater Platypus auf
erfrischende Weise Mut.“
a race through London

ZITTY: „... die rasante Jagd durch London überzeugt in ihrer Mischung aus
Fernsehquiz-Imitat und Theaterstück. Der
Plot nimmt immer wieder originelle Wendungen und schon bald ertappt sich der
Zuschauer dabei, wie er, in seinem Halbwissen kramend, selbst eifrig miträtselt,
Regisseurin Anja Scollin arbeitete gemeinsam mit ihren Schauspielern die gegensätzlichen Hauptcharaktere, nämlich
Streberin und Luftikus, liebevoll aus.“
