The Crown Jewels review

Ultimately, The Crown Jewels is a glorified faux panto: it neither delivers on satirical wit nor offers enough audience participation. Unlike Blood's doomed attempt at a momentous act of theft, this comedy only succeeds in robbing the audience blind.

The Crown Jewels review

Playwright Simon Nye (mainly) sticks to the facts, and if you need convincing, the programme gives the real history in lively detail.
