Press Reviews

"I am almost as enthusiastic about Alan Bennett's adaptation... as Ratty is about his river."

— Time Out

"This has to be the most dazzling and enjoyable show in the West End. I hope it wins heaps of awards."

— The Daily Express

"Bennett has played fair with [the] original story while adding to it his own brand of astringent nostalgia and cryptic wit."

— The Guardian

"An enthralling evening of fun and laughter."

— Suffolk News
