Commentaires : Sian Phillips created a supremely faithful vocal and physical impression of the real Marlene Dietrich, the great survivor. Her performance was universally praised, portraying what Sheridan Morley called “a musical Mother Courage” and providing a constant reminder of what could be done by sheer chemistry of the human spirit alone.
Presse : BILL HAGERTY in THE NEWS OF THE WORLD review says “ Marlene is a remarkable experience even if, ..the text is as thin as Rizla”.

THE SUNDAY TIMES says “ It is not a play: it is a show. this is not theatre: this is show business. The writing is perky but slack.”

NICK CURTIS in the EVENING STANDARD says “The lines may be sardonically funny, but Marlene merely recycles old myths about showbiz glamour.”
