Mates In Chelsea review

This toff comedy is simply unbearable.

Clive Davis, The Times, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

A trust-fund kid losing his family castle to an oligarch provides enough satire for some strong performances, but the concept is overstretched.

Kate Wyver, The Guardian, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

New comedy about toffs and tycoons is disappointingly juvenile and weak.

Aleks Sierz, The Arts Desk, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

Clumsy, chaotic satire follows a moronic gentleman-of-leisure who has frittered away his inherited fortune.

Dave Fargnoli, The Stage, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

This comedy about the idle rich threatens you with a good time, but ultimately doesn't have anything to say.

Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

It's a decidedly mild time, though it passes pleasantly enough in the assured company of this cast.

Mates In Chelsea review

After a run of disappointments at the Royal Court, Rory Mullarkey's gloriously funny play proves to be a surprisingly near-unalloyed delight.

Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

Mates In Chelsea loses its way towards the end and becomes as clumsy as its characters, but ultimately this silly satire is still worth a watch.

Sophie Luck, West End Best Friend, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

Rory Mullarkey's play wastes every opportunity to say anything new.

Aliya Al-Hassan, Broadway World, 10th November 2023

Mates In Chelsea review

As wealth disparity intensifies and modern politics are pushed further and further to the right, the satirical edge in this production reads more liberal than left and fails to have the impact it clearly yearns for.
