4 STARS Guardian

‘A love letter to the movies and an appealingly intelligent evocation of the Jewish folk culture that formed the basis of American cinema.’

‘Nicholas Hytner’s immensely skilful production.’

‘Sher’s performance is the magnetic centre.’

‘Damien Molony doubles effectively as the idealistic Motl and a New York 1930s actor.’

‘Sher's performance is also the magnetic centre of a play. It is one of those performances in which the actor seems to have expanded to twice his usual size.’
