"(The) hottest ticket in town, is so flush with feeling that it never seems to stop trembling directed with lightning crackle and flash by Trevor Nunn. Stoppard's dazzling whirligig of a mind may be in full spin here, but he is definitely leading with his heart."
Ben Brantley, THE NEW YORK TIMES
"Tom Stoppard has written one of the great political plays in the English language, and like all great political plays, it resonates with humanity. A radical triumph. Trevor Nunn's production is a masterpiece of lucidity, intelligence and feeling."
John Peter, SUNDAY TIMES
"Glorious. More than rock 'n' roll. I love it! Profound, moving and embarrassingly good. The familiar Stoppardian wit and intellectual exuberance are married to a depth of feeling that frequently found me in tears, and it features the best rock music of any show running in London. Energetic, raw and passionate. I was tempted to end this review by saying It's only rock 'n 'roll but I like it. In fact, it's about much more than rock 'n' roll, and I love it. The finest play of 2006."
Charles Spencer, DAILY TELEGRAPH
