This is a truly great evening in the West End” - Charles Spencer, Telegraph

Greta Scacchi gives the performance of her career as Terence Rattigan’s anguished heroine. A great performance in one of the greatest plays of the last century. - Charles Spencer, Telegraph

Deeply moving revival - Charles Spencer, Telegraph

Scacchi is shatteringly fine - Charles Spencer, Telegraph

Greta Scacchi is outstanding […] It is a fearsomely meaty role and this outstanding actress embraces it with great ardour and compelling energy - Paul Callan, Daily Express

Miss Scacchi’s shrieking breakdown is gripping to watch - Paul Callan, Daily Express

Excellent production - Paul Callan, Daily Express

This is a mesmerising story of human failing - Ben Dowell, London Paper
