"El-Alfy’s cast make up a lovely ensemble, vibrantly playing off each other.It’s impossible not to feel charmed by a play that puts famous names into unexpected situations and modern amenities in the past - the Flintstones come to mind." (The Comedy of Oedipus)

"The director dealt superbly with the text and particularly the sudden imposition of modern technology on ancient Thebes." (The Comedy of Oedipus)

★★★★★ "Under El-Alfy’s subtle direction, this talented cast gave a cohesive, finely tuned ensemble performance that did full justice to Keeffe’s gripping drama and brought its message home to Egyptian audiences with overpowering urgency and immediacy." (Afashtak / Gotcha)

★★★★★ "Ahmed El-Alfy’s take on Olga Nikora’s Then They Came for Me was very well paced, with charming chemistry between the two sisters at its centre. The piece was emotion-fuelled and alarming, but a brilliant choice". (Then They Came for Me)
