“The exciting production, staged by director Tom-Henry Löwenstrom (…), benefits from a cast of playful and spirited actors. (…)
For this reason, the thoroughly successful production (…) deserves the label ‘recommended’.”– Pforzheimer Zeitung –
“The young director Tom-Henry Löwenstrom has staged the ‘well-made play’ by the American playwright as a touching dreamlike piece. (…)
Esther Bätschmann has created a stage space evoking associations with the universe. (…)
Löwenstrom not only gives the performers freedom but also uncovers depth in Gunderson’s otherwise smoothly crafted play, balancing it perfectly with the Pforzheim ensemble. (…)
Director Tom-Henry Löwenstrom explores the possibilities offered by the text. The fact that he succeeds in bringing out these layers, especially in the character development, owes much to the compelling composition by sound designer and composer Till Meiler.”– Theater der Zeit –
“In a production by Tom-Henry Löwenstrom, Silent Sky (…) receives its German-language premiere, which proves to be highly successful.
(…) The minimalist set contributes significantly to the dense atmosphere. The ensemble is also first-class (…)”– Pforzheimer Kurier –

“In his first production at Schauspiel Stuttgart, Tom-Henry Löwenstrom treats Yishai’s text as a piece of narrative theater, addressing the audience directly.
For this process, Löwenstrom finds memorable images: what begins as a gentle stream turns into a roaring river by the end (…) – supported by the music of the band Keine Revolte.”– Die Deutsche Bühne –
“During the first 45 minutes, Tom-Henry Löwenstrom’s carefree and refreshing direction … mainly projects photos of Popeye and Olive in slide style onto the white stage curtain.
‘Love/An Argumentative Exercise’ is not for the faint-hearted – but for everyone else, it offers a rich, ninety-minute discourse on gender at the cutting edge of our time."– Ludwigsburger Kreiszeitung –
“While Popeye continues collecting trophies, Olivia escapes into a wild fantasy of sexual intoxication with all the trimmings – explicit, though only linguistically, just like the entire production. The cheeky energy and freshness with which the young team drives the production across the stage makes up for any moments of temporary boredom."– Stuttgarter Zeitung –

(...) because what the Youth Theatre Club at Theater Lübeck has put on stage this year is truly impressive. (…)
You don’t need to have read the book to follow the Lübeck production by director Tom-Henry Löwenstrom. The plot is clear, the message unmistakable. (…)With a remarkable result: In just one hour of stage time, the seven young performers present a strong interpretation of Dürrenmatt’s classic. Artistically executed with great acting and creatively staged, (…) at times several scenes unfold simultaneously — synchronized with the background music and enhanced by striking choreographic elements. (…)A wonderful play of contrasts — a highly convincing interpretation.— Lübecker Nachrichten —
