Reviews

"Extremely funny... Bartlett's writing is always clever and lively, and he hits his targets."

- WhatsOnStage

"A rambunctious, modern-day Restoration comedy... a springtime pantomime with knowing humour, smut, silliness and arch references to the hypocrisies of the state... joyfully silly stuff."

- Guardian

"Laugh-out-loud funny... the mashup of Restoration cadences and modern argot is spot on."

- Evening Standard
