This play unites superb technical skills with a deep understanding of both the human heart and the British habit of repressing emotion...At a time when our public life is so dismally degraded, it is poignant to be reminded of a time when MPs were concerned enough to defend the rights of an individual child and everyone believed in the possibility of even-handed justice...This beautifully crafted portrait of old-fashioned English decency shines like a good deed in a naughty world. --Daily Telegraph

The play crackles with humour, much of it stemming from the conflict between the will of individuals and the hunchbacked repressions of a society still lumbered with a Victorian notion of the dignity of restraint...Its concern with political, judicial and indeed journalistic unfairness feels pungently topical. --The Evening Standard on the Rose Theatre, Kingston's 2009 revival of The Winslow Boy.
