“In her brief role in Alice Kahrmann’s play ‘Powerless’, Asjes was the source of some of the play’s brightest moments and she impresses further here. ”

“Asjes is not only poignant but often bravely unlovely, whether spitting out the poisonous bigotry that is the legacy of her ignorance and impoverishment or chewing with indecorous, slack-jawed nonchalance on a hot dog. Ironically, it is in these moments of physical and emotional ugliness that the play and its much-abused heroine most touch the heart.”

“Asjes, in particular, produces an affecting performance that never slides into the gloopy sentimentality that might have subsumed a play about the underdog’s struggle for dignity and understanding.”

“[The Play] owes most to the remarkable poignancy and histrionic conviction of Miss Asjes’s wrenching performance as Selina”
