Review: God's Dice

David Baddiel isn't the first creative person to have learned about quantum physics in all its weirdness and come to the conclusion that it requires an almost-religious leap of faith to believe this is the way unseeable particles actually behave.

God's Dice review

Baddiel's big ideas fall flat on the stage.

God's Dice review

David Baddiel's play starring Alan Davies as a scientist who inadvertently becomes a religious icon is intriguing but woefully heavy-handed.

God's Dice review

It ends up being about too much and not enough.

God's Dice review

Slick but slight new play.

God's Dice review

As a piece of theatre, it works wonderfully well. As a sort of amusing after dinner intellectual game, it has its merits. As a serious piece of thinking you will either find yourself able to 'buy' what it has to sell or be left wondering why it never occurred to anyone involved that they were maybe barking up the wrong Jesse's Tree.

God's Dice review

God's Dice is ultimately too wide-ranging and complex to be 100 per cent successful but it is wonderful to encounter new writing that isn't afraid to take on huge themes and refract them back through the prism of relatable human circumstances.

God's Dice review

Baddiel, as one might expect, is very good with words and the ideas here are intriguing too. Maybe a slightly different version would have more impact.

Jump the shark: Jonathan Creek

Alan Davies solved improbable crimes with wit and flair. Before, erm, getting a job in advertising.
