British Comedy Guide, 27th April 2017Review: The Philanthropist
The audience liked it, and though it won't be remembered as one of the year's great plays, it was good to see a work by a classic playwright in a new production with a cast not used to this form.
Beatrix Swanson Scott, A Younger Theatre, 25th April 2017The Philanthropist review
This is dated beyond belief and either needs urgent freshening up or leaving it to its past.
Carns Theatre Passion, 24th April 2017Review: The Philanthropist
A combination of bad casting and lacklustre directing from Simon Callow leads to an ultimately disappointing evening; the greatest act of philanthropy would be to scrap it and start again.
Danny Coleman-Cooke, BritishTheatre.com, 22nd April 2017Review: The Philanthropist
So as a period piece, it rang true; and Bird's and Cole's performances in particular left me convinced and rather sorrowful.
Libby Purves, My Theatre Mates, 22nd April 2017Review: The Philanthropist
The Philanthropist isn't a bad show. There are some very funny moments and the concept of the piece is an interesting one. Definitely worth going to see if you like the sound of it.
West End Wilma, 22nd April 2017Review: The Philanthropist
You'd have to be a very generous philanthropist to recommend it as a night out.
Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 22nd April 2017The Philanthropist review
A strange play to unearth now.
Paul Taylor, The Independent, 21st April 2017The Philanthropist, theatre review
TV stars look ill at ease in this woeful dud. This pricey West End play feels like a misconceived venture.
Henry Hitchins, Evening Standard, 21st April 2017The Philanthropist review
I love the play, but I think the age of the actors matters far less than their depth of experience and understanding.
