« This out of the ordinary character is a figure entirely apart in theatre, whom it is not easy to circumnavigate, and whose mystery is entirely maintained throughout. »Jacques De Decker, Le Soir

« Alexandre Von Siver is witty and pathetic in an intelligent text, marked by a devastating cynicism, which reveals to us an author from our own country and who should be played throughout the land and abroad. » Jacques Hislaire, La Libre Belgique

« Pure narrative, the text does its job: Dopagne has built in enough developments for the narration to remain captivating throughout its hundred minutes. »De Morgen

« The author's ability to reveal failures but opting for a lightly ironic tone confirms his talent in tackling tragedy with a new sort of pen » Pascal Haubruge, Le Soir

« Throughout this monologue, which unwinds through following a line of thought, jumping from one thing to another in the disorder of memory, it is our era which scrolls past, our society on the search for lost values. » La Wallonie

« Dopagne's universe is never innocent. The candor of the characters lures in order to attract our commitment to childhood, allowing the author to then play on the ironic cruelty which frames it, to enable us better to share the injuries inflicted on the sensibilities of contemporary tragedies » Philippe Tirard, La Libre Belgique

« Through a writing which is poetic, surreal or even absurd, Jean-Pierre Dopagne proves that he has the right to succeed those authors who have secured the specificity and reputation of Belgian theatre» Marie-Françoise Gihousse, Le Jour-Le Courrier

« There are no effects here, just the impeccable mechanism of a proven theatrical language effective to the last comma »Philippe Tirard, La Libre Belgique

« Jean-Pierre Dopagne, the author of 'The Teacher', here offers us his best play to date; he gives weight to complete silences and says much with few words »Sophie Creuz, L'Echo

« Everything rings true in a punchy dialogue not lacking a cynical and biting humour »Luc Brunclair, Le Jour-Le Courrier

« In 'The Young Film Debutante', Jean-Pierre Dopagne sets up a scathing portrait of a school which no longer has the means to fulfil its ambitions, that of forming future adults. An alarm call. » Thierry Denoël, Le Vif/ L'Express

« If Roxane de Limelette can give shape to this young woman it is above all due to the author's remarkable writing, well thought through, well honed, very balanced, neither sententious nor intellectual, but very caught up with real lif. »Luc Brunclair, Le Jour-Le Courrier

« We go straight to the heart of the problems raised by the contemporary education system. Ignorant school kids against desperate teachers, and the arbitration of a hierarchical system that does not want anyone to make waves. » Marion Thébaud, Le Figaro

« The text by the Belgian Jean-Pierre Dopagne seizes upon justice. Swinging ceaselessly between toughness and tenderness, cyniscim and humour, it gives full life to the intimate drama of this man, incapable of just giving up, made criminal through the love of his profession » Marie-Claire Roy, National Hebdo

« The spectator is thrown into a everyday truth, that of 'the young lady', a very contemporary day to day phenomena, which is, unfortunately, that of many young girls in our society, where the image of femininity is so often mishandled and recuperated by the media. Here, everything is fair, weighed, proportionate. » Jean Lacroix, Nos Lettres

« Tomorrow I woke up at five in the morning. These nine words clearly signal that surrealism will never be far away: it's one of our country's key brands. » Laurent Guyot, Vers l'Avenir
