WhatsOnStage, Ron Simpson, 4*:
“Above all, Waters and Obisesan exercise masterly control of tone, from entertainment to tragedy, from eccentric comedy to the heart of darkness”
The Stage, Jon Murphy, 4*:
“Steve Waters’ stage adaptation is inevitably a different beast to Kevin Macdonald’s 2006 film, but the story’s power remains undimmed”
Broadway World, Ruth Deller, 4*
“an engaging watch with a standout performance”

‘He is the sickness and you maintain that sickness’
