“Hay Fever thrives precisely on this type of frothy reliability, and Burns delivers it with style: by the book, impeccably performed, and an unalloyed autumnal treat.”

“As a feast for the eyes, the production is utterly spectacular.”

“Flawed as it sometimes is, The Unbelievers is a fine piece of work gifted with a stunning central performance.”

“The Legends of Them is a lingering, thought-provoking, beautifully produced piece that defies easy definition but works immaculately, entirely on its own terms.”

“Quality performances mean there is much to enjoy in this sombre, thought-provoking piece.”

“Thankfully, an energetic and finely tuned star turn from a bearded, bobble-hatted Ben Whishaw provides sufficient acidity throughout to temper any inclination to soppiness.”

“Painful, vital, astonishing theatre.”

“Crudup’s unmissable performance is a masterclass in the art of delivering monologue.”

“The fraught tensions bubbling away as the emblem of the old guard slowly yields to the pin-up boy of the new feel real, urgent, and engrossing throughout.”

“Trapped in an ever more fastidious drive to stick to its canon and formula, the show struggles to step away from the TV blueprint or find new things to stay.”
