Abounding with witty entertainment and curiosity value, it confirms the promise shown by Marcelo Dos Santos' * Telegraph * 'Gleefully subversive and unexpectedly hard-hitting, with some great one-liners' * Time Out * 'Smart and shrewd... the most unusual depiction of an unlikely duo since Judi Dench crossed wits with Billy Connolly in Mrs Brown... by turns devastating and delicious' * Arts Desk * 'Plays like a cross between The Crown and X-rated PG Wodehouse' * The Times * 'An early festive delight... makes The Crown look too careful' * Independent * 'Bubblingly witty, with many great one-liners' * Financial Times * 'A comedy of manners with a sprinkling of farce, conducted in cut-glass bon mots and bitchy sideswipes' * The Stage * 'Full of zinging one-liners and laugh-out-loud moments... Every joke lands with the precision of a targeted missile, always suggesting the sharpness behind the smile... has all the trappings of a West End hit... Dos Santos is undoubtedly a talented writer, with a distinctive voice and a welcome wit' * WhatsOnStage * 'Deliciously frothy... consistently funny and entertaining' * Evening Standard * 'Fascinating... the writing has sophistication... the Queen Mother would have loved it' * Guardian * 'A rip-roaring comedy... uproariously funny... a fascinating insight to the inner workings of that famous family' * Theatre Weekly * 'Very funny... nicely balances palace gossip with broader ideas about class, power, and way that tradition can both comfort and stifle' * London Theatre * 'A sympathetic, subtle portrayal of a uniquely fascinating relationship, full of deliciously arch banter... a right royal laugh that will delight' * Chortle * 'Simply delightful... wonderful... an unexpectedly touching tale of genuine connection... pure entertainment at its finest. Dos Santos folds in a healthy dollop of heart and politics for good measure, but make no mistake; this production is first and foremost an absolute feel-good gem' * Reviews Hub * 'Very funny and likely to tickle even the most reluctant royalists in the audience' * Culture Whisper * 'The best royal drama in a decade...
