"This is an excellent and timely revival of a fine play. Barker, a giant of the theatre of his period...is seen here in something close to his full stature.
Michael Schmidt The Daily Telegraph

"...we have seen a fine production under Gregory Hersov's direction.  The playing is first-class, and the writing is like Shaw but better..."
B A Young Financial Times

"...a stylish production by Gregory Hersov that will be a hard act to follow...almost immaculate in its recreation of that moneyed, mannered world, with admirable performances from Robert Glenister as the son, James Maxwell as the father...the sets and costumes are not just props but players in the drama; they had their role in casting a spell on us."
Robin Thornber The Guardian
