What the popular press had to say.....
NICHOLAS DE JONGH for THE EVENING STANDARD says, "Attenborough captures the humour in Pinter's black comedy of gangsterish alienation and sentimentality." PAUL TAYLOR for THE INDEPENDENT says, "Bitterly funny, powerful revival." MICHAEL BILLINGTON for THE GUARDIAN says, "Like any classic, Pinter's The Homecoming constantly changes. And Michael Attenborough's excellent revival gives it a new twist by casting the coolly stylish black actor, Jenny Jules, as the disruptive Ruth." BENEDICT NIGHTINGALE for THE TIMES says, "Michael Attenborough’s revival does full justice to the play’s below-the-belt observation and flyblown wit."
