Presse : "Last time Noel Coward's 1932 comedy was given a major revival, at the Donmar in 1994, it was presented as a raunchy, unashamed hymn to bisexuality and the delights of a menage a trois. But Anthony Page's infinitely subtler, and funnier, revival reminds us that Coward's cosmopolitan hedonism was always matched by an inbuilt puritanism, and that the play offers a genuine contest between the bohemian talentocracy and moral orthodoxy.." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"A long and largely unrewarding slog." Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

"The first act is chewy and the second is interminable. The end is definitely worth seeing." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail

"Slick and stylish production ." Julie Carpenter for The Daily Express

"Although the production could do with some neat cuts, it is full of intriguing subtleties and symmetries, cleverly accentuated. And the stellar acting makes Coward’s comic lines seem piercingly precise." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Presse : THE EVENING STANDARD said "A glorious swoop of vintage comedy. " THE TIMES says "De la Tour plays Raisa with such wit and force, combining calculation, coquettishness and iciness of spirit, that you find yourself laughing at her, wincing from her, yet believing her horribly real." THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says "Anthony Page's Lyttelton production is ludicriously leisurely for a light entertainment... What saves the evening is the liveliness of Ayckbourn's translation and the excellence of the leading performances. " THE GUARDIAN says, " Ostrovsky's marvellous work has the exuberant madness of the best Russian comedy." THE INDEPENDENT says, "Francis De La Tour is on top form." JANE EDWARDES of TIME OUT says " Anthony Page's scrupulous production never goes so far over the top that it loses touch with the grim existence of those who are dependent on the kindness of others." PETER HEPPLE of THE STAGE says, "This is a play that one feels might have been funnier and sharper." The show received a bad review from THE FINANCIAL TIMES, which by the way I totally disagree with, saying, "None of the performances is quite good enough... "

MARRIAGE PLAY: Sheila Gish, Bill Paterson
Presse : THE TIMES headlines, “An Edward Albee double bill on marriages in trouble leaves our reviewer unimpressed”. BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE , the Times reviewer says of Marriage Play, “Gish and Paterson are highly watchable performers, and as meticulous as the script allows, but they cannot disguise the fact that they are playing exemplars rather than people.” CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, “Although both works are intriguing, they cannot stand comparison with his greatest plays.” He goes on to say, ’Marriage Play is “a second-rate play”. And goes on to say, “You leave this double-bill feeling that you have had a couple of tasty starters but missed out on the main course.” MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN on 'Finding the Sun', “Neither Anthony Page's atmospheric production….nor the performances of Pauline Lynch and Polly Walker .. can disguise the play's wistful wispiness. Marriage Play deserves a better partner.” PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, “Both plays sound as though they were written for a commission rather than to obey some fierce creative imperative.” NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, “Magnificently disturbing double-bill.” PETER HEPPLE for THE STAGE says of ‘Finding the Sun’ says, “Too elliptic to strike home.” BRIAN LOGAN for TIME OUT says, “ 'Marriage Play' fails interestingly, ‘Finding the Sun’ flops catastrophically”
