Review: The Miser, Garrick Theatre
Molière's The Miser started life as a five-act comedy. Fortunately for those catching the train home, Sean Foley and Phil Porter have rewritten it as a two-act, two and a half hour comedy that hilariously sends up every theatrical stereotype with a terrific selection of comic actors.
Sophie Adnitt, BritishTheatre.com, 13th March 2017Review: The Miser
'Comedy first, psychological insight later' is Sean Foley's take on The Miser, and indeed his production is fresh, funny and farcical. But maybe his cast can afford to relax a bit more - they're all excellent, after all.
What's On Stage, 13th March 2017The Miser at the Garrick Theatre review
A delightful feast of non-stop laughter. The two-and-a-half hour running time is not felt at all as every moment has something to offer.
Mersa Auda, The Upcoming, 13th March 2017The Miser review
An evening that is often very funny indeed, albeit one that certainly chooses immediate comic fizz and fervour over finesse.
Tom Birchenough, The Arts Desk, 13th March 2017Mindhorn review
Julian Barratt co-writes and stars in this terrifically funny send-up of 80s detective shows.

British Comedy Guide, 12th December 2016Catherine Tate Show Live review
While the characters themselves are funny, big punchlines can be something of a problem, and rather too many skits end on a needlessly brutal line just to get them finished.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 14th November 2016Review: Jeeves and Wooster
John Gordon Sinclair steals the show and is hugely watchable and entertaining. The farce is predictable in many places, but still gets the laughs from the audience, and you cannot deny the clever staging and direction by Sean Foley.
