Presse : NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "I sometimes found Richard Wilson's stylised, austere production and the manner of Sir Antony's performance fussily decorative." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Antony Sher, as adapter and performer, and Richard Wilson as director, have such aesthetic tact and imaginative sobriety that they capture precisely the book's controlled outrage." CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH "The person we encounter on the pages of Levi's book, and in Sher's perfectly judged performance, is a human being who has emphatically not been destroyed by the very worst this world has to offer. That is the beacon in the terrible darkness." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "This is an evening beyond criticism."

Chorégraphie :
Producteur :
Avec : Michael Gambon, Alec McCowen
Presse : The show has received some mixed reviews, most critics note the lack of any serious story , but most agree that the performances of Gambon and McCowen are superb.

NICHOLAS DE JONGH of THE EVENING STANDARD says “ Impure farce rather than serious drama.....Michael Gambon’s riveting Tom Drilberg......McCowen’s gorgeously laconic Premier”.

The INDEPENDANT says “ ...reasonably entertaining, reasonably thought-provoking and unreasonably derivative...the excellent Alec McCowen let’s you see the passionate humanity that lies behind Attee’s comically prim, pernickety facade... Gambon puts on a fine display of sophisticatedly raffish fleshliness”.
