Presse : BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE of THE TIMES describes it as "both a big, rich public play." JANE EDWARDES of TIME OUT on Trevor Nunn's first production , "A highly auspicious beginning." JOHN THAXTER of THE STAGE describes McKellen as playing his part "with frenzied intensity." NICHOLAS DE JONGH found the play enjoyable but was not pleased with Sir Ian McKellen's performance commenting that it was "perhaps the worst of his brilliant career." This I cannot agree with myself, as I found his performance superb and touching. JOHN PETER of THE SUNDAY TIMES agrees saying McKellen's performance was "one of the greatest in his career" and BILL HAGERTY of THE NEWS OF THE WORLD says he "contributes a masterly performance" and goes on to say "It's a play with razor-sharp teeth."
