"The Actors' Company production is sheer joy. . . Ian McKellen's pubescent page boy lurching back and forth in his boots like a Gallic Little Titch." — Michael Billington
"We have seen it all before, but never funnier. This handsomely mounted production would be welcome in the West End." — John Barber
"It is at least twice as funny as anything else on the London stage, and in its timing and attention to comic detail eclipses the production of the same play by the Comedie Francaise seen here five years ago." — Frank Marcus
"Ian McKellen, the pimply 17-year-old hotel buttons, with his trousers too short and his pubescence giving him agony, provides a star performance in a minor role." — John Barber
