Within the walls of his apartment, a man lives out his experience as a "single" in the company of a toy: a dressmaker’s dummy which he assembles and takes apart as he pleases. (...) In the same way, comedy and drama alternate in the play. And what can be said about the inventiveness of the dialogue? It is a scintillating diversion that occasionally leaves you breathless. It is a nonsensical delight that becomes significant as the action evolves. In other words, it is the language of today. (...) The ironic dialogue, while pilloring a certain kind of psychologising and forbidden language, erupts into moments of real poetry.

SIPARIO January/February 1990 - IGLOO by Enzo Consoli. Director: Enzo Consoli.
Actors: Pino Ammendola, Graziella Polesinanti. - Rome, Teatro Duse.

A mother kept in moth-balls because she is old and an invalid; Alessio, her son, wrapped in his bitter solitude as a "single"; and three women, as equally-distance from each other as the three points of a triangle and just as distant from Alessio. He, for his part, has done everything possible to gain the affection of the women, even going so far as to marry two of them (the youngest and the oldest). These are the ingredients knowingly blended in this grotesque game presently at the Teatro Duse (...) Enzo Consoli’s play is one of sentiment; a play about everyday emotions portrayed against the background of current events with eloquent immediacy. (...) This is the result of very effective dialogue (and also careful direction) which redeems the commonness of the situations and transforms them, through the filter of irony, into a civilized, constructive confrontation.

PROGNISIS - February 18 - 1994 Igloo By Enzo Consoli, produced by Inside Out. - Braniché divaldo, Branickà 63, Prague 4

The play is well-structured.... very successful characterization of the three women, played by a single actress.... Consoli’s keenness as a chronicler of the human condition comes through in the way ha also displays each woman’s emotional deficit by her projection of her own vision of romance onto Alessio.
