Chariots of Fire
by Mike Bartlett

"[A] stirring crowd-pleaser."

— Evening Standard

"Gripping human confrontation... sure to be a huge popular theatrical success."

— The Stage

"Even this grumpy Olymposceptic was brought to actual tears, moved to empathy and understanding by the fabulous theatricality of it... above all, it's the sincerity: a full-blooded willingness to take the hearty morality, amateur spirit and patriotism at its own valuation without modish irony."

— The Times

"A fine Olympic-season project... [Bartlett] utilises the stage's greater ability to open up to the protagonists’ inner voices, showing Abrahams’ preoccupation with his never-present father and in particular Liddell's devout brand of muscular Christianity."

— The Financial Times

"Funny, pithy and creative... about as close to a West End musical as it's possible to get without in fact being one."

— Time Out
