Critic reviews
Highly enjoyable and intelligent play
Rupert Goold’s production crackles
Bertie Carvel is astoundingly good
Fitfully brilliant and always utterly, utterly gripping
Whirlwind, career-defining performance
Echoes of Shakespeare
Bertie Carvel is devilishly good
Bertie Carvel is magnificent
Eloquent and clever, but has surprisingly little to say
A hollow political pageant
Extraordinary observational and mimicking skills of Bertie Carvel
Bertie Carvel’s Trump is spot-on and hilarious
Perfect Trump impression
