by Ronald Harwood
"The hot newcomer Richard Goulding gives a virtuosic performance as John, superficially charming, witty and camp in the best Brideshead manner, but with a constant edgy neuroticism about him and sudden scary glimpses of the truly psychopathic"
The Daily Telegraph
"A play that deals with refreshingly big issues."
The Guardian
"Richard Goulding is incandescent as John Amery, switching seamlessly from the dangerous nonsense of a Bright Young Thing well past its sell-by date to brittle courage and outright fury."

"It tells a gripping true story with simplicity and power, and somehow manages to move the audience while also making its flesh creep."
The Daily Telegraph
"The agony of Leo Amery, the father with secrets whose breakdown is painful to watch, is equally palpable in Jeremy Child's characterisation."

"The combination of English reticence and raw anguish put me in mind of Rattigan at his greatest."
The Daily Telegraph
"Diana Hardcastle's heart-rending performance in Di Trevis' fine production"
whatsonstage.com
"Di Trevis' production, staged on an ingenious Ralph Koltai set composed of swastika-shaped platforms, is also impeccably acted."
The Guardian
"This is a dark world in which dark thing happened. But the people that Harwood presents to us are not shadows. They are real. They suffer. We understand."
