Critic reviews

"In no other play will you hear that Shakespeare went by train from Stratford-upon-Avon to Paddington. Not all of the Bard though. Just his bones...and Sue Rodwell's enjoyable dramatisation, everybody including a cockney manservant, quotes Shakespeare at the drop of a hat." (The Times)

“Good News...Simon Callow stars as the blind detective, Max Carrados, Lionel Jeffries as his servant and ‘eyes’, Parkinson." (Sunday Times, Gillian Reynolds Choice)

“Atmospheric and great fun.” (Daily Express)
