"The show, staged by Alexandru Dabija at the German State Theatre Timişoara, is a good one, an agreeable one, one of rich comic, a comic that reminds us of the pure form it had in silent films. Its brechtianism or antibrechtianism doesn't give you head-aches. […] It has a good rhythm, is fluent, with a sharp comic that is sometimes a little indecent and somehow obscene. The performance of the German State Theatre Timişoara is one in a series of Alexandru Dabija's shows in which his directorial work gives priority to the actors. He succeeded."

"A Respectable Wedding is a funny show. Young Brecht's script turns towards the grotesque, a register imposed on stage by the acting style, make-up and the dismantling of the elements from the mobile décor (chairs, tables, chaiselongue), as signs of the structural vices of the community. The acting is unreproachful, all of them, regardless of generation, act very well in composition roles; they are in an excellent physical and musical shape. They all wear heavy make-up, their faces are painted with some clay that cracks off; their make-up is a symbolic indicator of decrepitude. A Respectable Wedding is a show of European level which makes you not identify with the characters but to estrange yourself from them, in order to better understand and know them. At the German State Theatre in Timişoara, Dabija co created a show of the purest Brechtian essence."

"The picture is painted in the strong colours of the German Expressionism age (Otto Dix is the best reference), the characters are defined by the actors' thick, travesty make-up, the grotesque pictures, in such a manner that the sequent comic makes reference to the black area of sarcasm. The show has style, it is rigorously drawn, and the natural wood in Dragoş Buhagiar's décor has a deceiving appearance of novelty."
