The DVD sets have been favorably received, though some critics have faulted them for a lack of special features.

Famous quotes containing the word releases:

“We need a type of theatre which not only releases the feelings, insights and impulses possible within the particular historical field of human relations in which the action takes place, but employs and encourages those thoughts and feelings which help transform the field itself.”
—Bertolt Brecht (1898–1956)
