What the critics had to say.....
MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "although the show is old hat, I couldn't bring myself to dislike it. Some of the situations are quite funny" DOMINIC CAVENDISH for THE DAILY TELEGRAPH says, "Heavyweight political satire it isn't, but it may just have what it takes to lighten up the West End." JEREMY AUSTIN for THE STAGE says, "It is fun. It is silly. It is entertaining. And it is not supposed to be anything more, or less." NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "No moral, satirical or political point of view peeps forcefully through. A morality gap yawns. No conflict looms. There are amusing lines and situations, but too little wit." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "always funny, occasionally hilarious....Cruel? Tasteless? Well, I did wonder when the blind minister, thinking the man is Kimberly, has fellatio with a gay chef who wants a visa."
