Quentin Letts, Daily Mail, 19.05.10

'This is Shaw's most serious and politically provocative comedy, an elegant attack on a society at war with itself.'

John Peter, Sunday Times, 23.05.10

'It's no great stretch of the imagination to discern that the play's ingenious arguments about poverty, accent, education and identity hold good for multicultural Britain today.'

Dominic Cavendish, Daily Telegraph, 26.05.10
