The Philanthropist review
A strange play to unearth now.
Paul Taylor, The Independent, 21st April 2017The Philanthropist review
The Philanthropist was written when Christopher Hampton was only 23 - and here gets a revival that for once casts actors in their late-twenties, early-thirties, as intended. But it's not revelatory: these academics act like old fogeys who sleep about a bit.
Holly Williams, What's On Stage, 21st April 2017The Philanthropist review
The Philanthropist veers wildly between comedy, tragedy and tragi-comedy. The audience never knows where a pithy line, death, infidelity and betrayal will spring from next. It might be a comedy, but don't expect big laughs.
Frances Taylor, Radio Times, 21st April 2017The Philanthropist review
Simon Bird and Lily Cole are a treat in this pungent tragi-comedy.

Bruce Dessau, Beyond The Joke, 16th November 2016Watching unPC sitcoms should be part of the curriculum
The BBC's remakes of Till Death Us Do Part and Are You Being Served? are only to be appreciated through the filter of irony. But things like It Ain't Half Hot Mum weren't malicious.
