Labour of Love review: These Lefties are all right!
The audience enjoyed the nostalgia, sighing happily when they saw Teletext, a fax machine and an early Nineties mobile telephone. Though it may return one day, at present political centrism seems to have gone the same way as those defunct innovations and that makes this play feel less potent and truthful than it might have done a year or so ago. I'm afraid that, at present, not even the most artful West End production can match real politics for raw theatre.

Ann Treneman, The Times, 4th October 2017Labour of Love, review

Ian Shuttleworth, The Financial Times, 4th October 2017Review - Labour of Love
As with This House (soon to tour the UK), James Graham is able to make the workings of politics and politicians both theatrically compelling and deeply human.
