Presse : "Much as I admire Cooper’s performance, I still find Pomerance’s play – as I did on its Hampstead theatre premiere in London in 1977 – thin and tendentious." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"Cooper is touching and unshowy in the title role and, together with co-star Alessandro Nivola, completely carries Scott Ellis’s sluggishly directed production. " Ben Lawrence for The Telegraph

"The part demands remarkable focus — which he achieves. What could be a flashy exercise instead feels rigorously controlled. But even as he rises to the physical and vocal challenges, he can’t obscure the creakiness of the material with which he’s working." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
