Dominic Cavendish for The Daily Telegraph
"Scott Thomas is certainly regal: elegant, refined, chin lifted and nose looked down." Holly Williams for The Independent
"Scott Thomas is excellent when the play gives her a chance to break protocol and argue with her prime ministers. I was less persuaded by the moments when we see the Queen’s vulnerability or capacity to cheer up her nerve-wracked ministers." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"This is such a great play, it is hard to imagine any Queen bombing entirely – just as the part of Maria in ‘The Sound of Music’ is bomb-proof. The Audience would do perfectly well without Dame Kristin. I bet her understudy is more than adequate. Do come and visit me in the Tower." Quentin Letts for The Daily Mail
"Brisk costume changes enable Scott Thomas to move swiftly between regimes. The transformations feel almost magical, and while the play may not illuminate the intricacies of either politics or the Royal Family, it’s an entertaining, ultimately touching portrait of a woman whose life has been a strange mixture of visibility and aloofness." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
