The Guardian
"Phyllida Lloyd's tremendous all-women 'Henry IV' roughs up expectations on front after front... Her cast look more veracious than ever before."
-
The Telegraph
"The evening, though, belongs to Ashley McGuire's corpulent, cockney, and comically delightful Falstaff. The piteous sight of this hugely appealing bovver-girl getting hauled off at the end by staff like an animal being returned to her cage is frankly unforgettable."
-
The Financial Times
"These dramas are about rebellion, leadership, guilt and surrogate family; about a youth pulled between two father figures, one a common thief, the other a royal usurper; about who runs England. The setting and casting bring these concerns intensely alive. And this isn't Henry IV set in a prison; it is prisoners acting Henry IV. There's a crucial difference."
