Reviews for Richard Bean’s new play, with a towering central performance from Finbar Lynch:
SUNDAY TIMES:
CRITICS’ CHOICE 4 STARS
“Jaw-dropping laughs… A big meaty subject… Bean weaves a transatlantic spider’s web of alliances and double crosses… Cracking performances”
TIME OUT:
CRITICS’ CHOICE 4 STARS
“One moment you’re exploding with mirth at its sly abrasive wit, the next it’s choking the laughter out of your throat. Directed with thrilling energy and searing precision by Max Stafford-Clark… Horribly compelling”
GUARDIAN:
CRITICS’ CHOICE 4 STARS
“Full of wild dark humour… Finbar Lynch as Costello exudes just the right mix of danger, charm and creeping disillusion; Fred Ridgeway is utterly terrifying”
DAILY TELEGRAPH:
CRITICS’ CHOICE 4 STARS
“This fine dramatist has a tremendous gift for examining serious issues with bracing black humour… A splendid cast get maximum value from a play that keeps turning on a sixpence between laughter and terror”
FINANCIAL TIMES:
“Finbar Lynch is chilling and brilliant”
