CHARLES SPENCER for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, “The play is actually a bit of a mess, with Ravenhill uneasily caught between mischievous titillation and serious moralising”. However, he goes on to say, “There is no mistaking the play's crude and cheerful vigour, and there are some fine performances.”
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, “An evening rich in rudery and ambivalence.”
DAVID BENEDICT for THE INDEPENDENT says, “The only shocking thing about the evening is how splendidly enjoyable it is.”
NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, “Mother Clap’s Molly House is a daring, impassioned lament for decadent gay lives, but becomes too captivated by the gay high-jinks it presents and condemns.”
JOHN PETER for THE SUNDAY TIMES says, "Ravenhill's writing is tough, eloquent, sardonic.."
SHRIDAN MORLEY for TELETEXT says, "It becomes increasingly clear that Ravenhill is not just a sensationalist. Mother Clap is an ambitious tragicomedy of sex and seduction..."
PETER HEPPLE for THE STAGE says, "Though the second half is not as strong as the first .... the societal strictures and economic forces that lie at the heart of Ravenhill's work are strongly defined, the deliberately shocking scenes being softened by humour with a fine young company on top form."
