Commentaires : It was inspired by Erich Segal’s best-selling novel of the same name, and the enormously successful 1970 film version starring Ryan O’Neal and Ali MacGraw. The stage version, with a cast of 12 and an onstage band of seven, runs for an hour and forty minutes without an interval. It opened for a month-long sell-out run at the Minerva Theatre in Chichester on May 29 th 2010 and transferred to the Duchess for a limited ten week season. As with the original film, critical reaction was divided into two distinct camps: those who loved it and wept profusely into their hankies, and those who hated it and dismissed it as “Camille with bullshit”.
Presse : "A polished show that is pleasing, sometimes affecting, but never truly captivating." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

"Even I am prepared to admit that Rachel Kavanaugh’s stylish production is superior to the soppy film." Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

"The characters remain only mildly engaging with scenes and time passing so swiftly that you end up not really caring about anyone." Paul Vale for The Stage

Presse : "This new production in the idyllic surroundings of Regent’s Park is the finest I have ever seen."
Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph

"Rachel Kavanaugh's revival rightly plays up the story's politics: the only trick she misses, unlike Jeremy Sams's superb 2006 Palladium production, is in not fully showing how tensions between collaborators and anti-fascists infect a party thrown by the captain on the eve of the 1938 Anschluss. But everything else about the show feels right."
Michael Billington for The Guardian

"Rachel Kavanaugh’s buoyant production is respectful rather than radical, albeit with smart touches of wit and some new musical settings."
Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

"Rachel Kavanaugh's revival offers an admirably warm, straightforward and sincerely felt account of its (at times glutinously) sentimental story of nuns and Nazis and a young postulant who brings singing and love back to the motherless, defensively regimented of a widowed naval Captain."
Paul Taylor for The Independent
