RÚV "A strong cast delivers an important message with conviction" " Una Þorleifsdóttir directs the National Theatre's new production of the play by Brecht and his co-author, Margarete Steffin...the approach of the artistic directors of Mutter Courage is quite blunt, and the message about human powerlessness in the face of the hegemony of a greed-ridden society and a militarised world is clear and distinct." "...the National Theatre's performance of Mutta Courage clearly conveyed the message that it is time to end the war profiteering and senseless human sacrifices." "Steinunn Ólína Þorsteinsdóttir plays Mutter Courage and is almost as well-made and mature for this role. She sings wonderfully well, has a strong presence on stage and keeps the audience's attention undiminished at every moment with her measured and slightly cold acting style"
