What The Critics Say
Reviewed by: The Cornishman | Performed at: The Minack Theatre, Cornwall
"Director Ann Garner ... digs deep into Peter Shaffer’s play, and successfully mines every one of its rich seams ... to strike it rich with a king-size nugget of spectacular theatre. Her use of the theatre itself is exceptional; it’s a long while since I’ve seen the potential of the Minack put to such golden use.
... the set pieces are superb ...
The standard of performance all round ... is golden, with the protagonists ... being nothing less than pure gold."
