'An entertaining, finely observed chamber play and a great culinary reading pleasure' - Nora von Westphalen 'Astutely analyses social interaction and presents it in a humorous and ironic way' - Laura Sodano 'Anyone who can pull off such a chilli-hot social farce not only has dramatic skills, a feel for psychology and interpersonal staging practices, but also deserves the title of being considered the German-speaking Yasmina Reza' - Bjorn Hayer 'With her well-seasoned, original menu Teresa Praauer proves herself to be an amusingly sophisticated hostess and stimulating companion at this literary dinner' - Irene Prugger 'Praauer has succeeded in creating a highly subtle, apt study of the milieu, an elegantly composed text spiced with clever irony' - Christian Schacherreiter
