The Guardian
"Pryce...gives a striking, individualistic performance."
-
Independent on Sunday
"Pryce’s Lear...enacts his demented fantasy of a trial like a feverishly imaginative little boy."
-
The Evening Standard
"Michael Attenborough’s production is lucid, well-spoken and confidently paced. On a fine, forbidding set by Tom Scutt, it feels loaded with imagery of furtiveness and repression."
