Reviews

UK Theatre Web: 04Apr01:
This production hits you right between the eyes from the start. Much improved since Stratford it's now slick, hard and commanding. Will Houston is brilliant.Go and see it, don't read the reviews, live it.

UK Theatre Web: 01Apr01:
William Houston holds the show, with great performances from Richard Bremmer(Pistol), Arthur Cox(Bardolph), and Sandra Voe(Mistress Quickly). Show not as rounded by rest of cast as against the Henry IV parts 1 & 2, but still a worthwhile see.
