- Critical response
María del Puerto Gómez Corredera notes that while the director’s role as ‘The Other’ was not particularly well-received, the actresses performing the roles of Damiana and the Housekeeper were praised for their work. The simple but realistic staging of the production was also commended for conveying effectively the mysterious atmosphere of the play (2007: 371).

This production was enormously successful and won a number of awards, including one for best director.
- Further information
A huge mirror covered the back of the stage so that the audience could see their own reflection in it and thus participate in the play's doubling theme (Gómez Corredera 2006: 29).
Javier Vidal changed the epilogue in this production by featuring only the Housekeeper on stage who delivers a monologue (Gómez Corredera 2006: 30).
