Theatre review: The Man in the White Suit, Wyndham's

Stephen Mangan is on a relentless quest for laughs in Sean Foley's adaptation of a classic Ealing comedy.

Theatre review: The Man in the White Suit

Sean Foley has a strong following for his brand of anarchic humour and it is members of this group, along with fans of the acting stars, who are most likely to enjoy The Man in the White Suit.

Theatre review: The Man In The White Suit

We weren't blown away, it has to be admitted, but nor did we take the nuclear option of leaving in the interval.

The Man in the White Suit review

Sparks but no combustion in this chemistry farce. An Ealing comedy film becomes an intermittently entertaining play.

The Man In The White Suit review

Ealing film classic just looks shabby on stage.

Review: The Man in the White Suit (Wyndham's Theatre)

There are a lot of good intentions powering Sean Foley's adaptation of the Ealing comedy classic The Man in the White Suit towards the stage. But rather like its hero Stanley's experiments to invent an indestructible fabric that never needs washing, it blows up in everyone's face, leaving a lot of fine actors, including its star Stephen Mangan, lying wounded in the process.

The Man in the White Suit review at Wyndham's Theatre

Sparky performances but laboured staging.

Natasha Tripney, The Stage, 9th October 2019

The Man in the White Suit, review

Stephen Mangan anchors this genial but muddled farce.
