No one tells me..."

"Monica Capuani's beautiful translation, as always, is very attentive to the potential of the recitative and, without unnecessary 'imitations,' offers, beyond any literary genre, a language that perfectly supports the director's highly contemporary vision. Nicolas Bovey's sets and lighting, Aurora Damanti's costumes, and Claudio Tortorici's soundscape complement the setting well".

(Maria Dolores Pesce, https://www.sipario.it/recensioniprosal/item/16677-la-gatta-sul-tetto-che-scotta-regia-leonardo-lidi.html)

"The stage costumes designed by Aurora Damanti dress the characters with artificiality and apparent well-being: they are not the clothes of nobles but of wealthy bourgeoisie. They, always in the chromatic juxtaposition that has become a hallmark of Lidi's direction, represent the protagonists' 'emotional palette' of miserable frustration and greed".

(Lucia Medri, https://www.teatroecritica.net/2025/06/una-gatta-sul-tetto-dellamerica-di-oggi/)

"I wrote it and I'm writing it again: thirty-seven-year-old Leonardo Lidi, one of the greatest directors around today, isn't someone who makes theater; he devours it in bites that are both ravenous and furious...".

(Enrico Fiore, https://www.controscena.net/enricofiore2/?p=12095)
