    • Everyone else who draws their characters in grotesque stylization is also excellent, especially...the suggestive Alan Oke as the demented Hauk-Šendorf. [Translated] Vynikající jsou i všichni ostatní, kteří kreslí své postavy v groteskní stylizaci, především Nicky Spence jako impulsivní Albert Gregor či sugestivní Alan Oke jako pomatený Hauk-Šendorf.

    English National Opera

    • Among the large cast, a number stand out, including Alan Oke’s exemplary Schoolmaster (every word crystal clear...)

    • Some ENO stalwarts play the villagers, with Alan Oke as the Schoolmaster ...doubling the roles of Mosquito...and [his] way with the text is scrupulously clear, [his] character sardonically drawn.

    • The two veterans Alan Oke and Clive Bayley are a touching bit of casting as the Schoolmaster and Priest respectively, each finding a wry humanity...

    • Alan Oke and Clive Bayley, as schoolmaster and priest, compete for the title of most droll, leading a classy lineup of cameos.

    • ...the experienced pairing of Alan Oke and Clive Bayley, who capture the important dramatic counterpoint of the unfulfilled lives of the village schoolmaster and priest [is exemplarily clear].
