New York Times writer Mel Gussow called it "a three-ring circus of a comedy, cataloguing the injustices - and the sheer craziness - of civilization".

Vatzlav is a comedic farce that turns political at every stage. A family has a grown son who wears diapers and is a bear. Oedipus Rex is an old blind man and the protector of all things right. A Genius has a daughter called Justice, who must be 'revealed' to the world. And there's Vatzlav himself, stuck on the island with them.
