Presse : "McAvoy has tremendous, infectious fun as this charismatic holy fool, a role taken by Peter O’Toole in the 1972 film version. Eyes glinting with mischief, smiling beatifically, he takes Barnes’s luxuriantly freewheeling speeches at often breath-taking speed so that even when they jump the rails of sense, we’re still hooked." Dominic Cavendish for The Telegraph

"Lloyd’s production keeps the action flowing smoothly on Soutra Gilmour’s unitary set and, in a 14-strong cast, there are good performances from Anthony O’Donnell as a Marxist butler, Ron Cook as Jack’s vindictive uncle and Kathryn Drysdale as a false Marguerite Gautier..." Michael Billington for The Guardian

"James McAvoy returns for a second season to director Jamie Lloyd’s Trafalgar presentations. His Jack Gurney is by turns charming and even more chilling than his Macbeth here last season; his smile can charm you across a flowery meadow or make you resolve never to risk walking down a darkened alley with him." Ian Shuttleworth for The Financial Times

"James McAvoy’s charismatic performance is a tour de force." Henry Hitchings for Evening Standard
