The Daily Star (India)
"In a near-perfect echo of today's world, Nobel Prize-winning Elfriede Jelinek's On the Royal Road is stuffed breathless with metaphors, innuendoes, and anecdotes as it satirises US President Donald Trump. . . . The play reveals unflinchingly how complicit everyone has been in the entire spectacle of the Trump presidency. And because Jelinek never actually names the country nor the leader, it becomes a raw and scary tale of power left unchecked which can apply anywhere in the world."
