Love Upon the Throne Reviews

'The extraordinary thing about Love Upon the Throne is that it pulls off the impossible: it is extremely funny without being offensive. And this is because, beneath the jokes... it is a melancholy modern history play'

* Observer *

'Grateful tears of laughter coursed down my cheek... Pure joy'

* Guardian *

'The show achieves real brilliance'

* Daily Telegraph *
