Reactions to the production have been very positive. Michael Billington of the British newspaper "The Guardian" claimed it was "as good as theatre gets". Michael Coveney of the British "Independent" newspaper wrote that although the style was impressive, the acting was the most important quality: "Many of the techniques were familiar in modern production. But the overall scope of this wonderful project was impressive because of the acting quality of Toneelgroep. It made you want to go straight on to Amsterdam and catch the rest of their repertoire." "Roman Tragedies" premiered at the Holland Festival in 2007. The production has toured to several international venues. It has been staged at the Avignon Festival in France and at the Barbican Centre in London, UK. Its North American premiere was the Festival TransAmériques, where it played at Montreal and Quebec City in 2010.
