Cold War

'One of the best plays of 2023... superlatively resonant... a small but mighty piece... simply exquisite'

* iNews *

'Bewitching... a lush tender play with joy as well as trauma... The script by Conor McPherson stays close to Paweł Pawlikowski's original and finds a truly theatrical, darkly witty character of its own'

* The Times *

'A triumph'

* Telegraph *

'An exquisitely sad love story, brilliantly translated to the stage'

* Evening Standard *

'Beautiful... a swooning adaptation... like a sad, smokey late-night cabaret performance in a faded old bar: there's a glamour to it but it's intimate, warm and nocturnal... it really is a lovely show'

* Time Out *

'Gloriously melancholic... an almost tangible sense of pain and half-concealed emotion... an unusual and original show, one that haunts you long after you leave the theatre, its essential sadness sweetened by tinges of hope and a deep humanity'

* WhatsOnStage *

'Compelling and bittersweet... a fine adaptation... a gift of no ordinary kind'

* Arts Desk *

'Brilliant. I need to see it again'

* British Theatre Gui
