The show has been appreciated by audiences and critics both in Poland and abroad. Polish screen and stage actress Magdalena Cielecka created in this spectacle one of her most important roles. In 2008 she was awarded the Herald Angel Award at the Edinburgh Festival for her performance in "4.48 Psychosis" and another Polish production, "The Dybbuk".
