'...catch an incisive, entertaining and handsomely dressed revival by
Braham Murray of Wilde's first success,...Gabrielle Drake, svelte and feline, gives a
master class in tart, comic phrasing as Mrs Erlynne...'
The Observer
'Style is everything in this ferociously funny assault on
late-Victorian hypocrisy, and Gabrielle Drake has it in spades. As the beautiful scheming
Mrs Erlynne, Miss Drake, swan-necked and seemingly ageless, simply queens it over her
rivals. She is matched in voice and presence by the vetera__Òn Rosalind Knight as a
hectoring dowager and James Saxon as a dim and noisy aristocrat, a buffoon to the last
brayed syllable...The pace is cracking and the costumes evoke a vanished elegance.'
Gerry Dempsey The Express
'Braham Murray's irresistibly glamorous production is studded with
irresistibly glamorous performances - but this doesn't mean that this is a parade of late
Victorian costumes and manners. Murray has read the play with complete attention, and
restores it to its true status as a grand social comedy and a moral detective story...The
acting is up to the highest standards in this theatre.'
John Peter The Sunday Times
'Braham Murray's excellent production...thoroughly well-cast...This is
a hugely enjoyable show for the season.'
Jeffrey Wainwright The Independent
