In a review for LondonTheatre.co.uk, our critic said: "Everything that can go wrong, it seems, does go wrong for this play, its players and particularly its wobbly, fragile set. But the more it does, of course, the funnier it becomes. It's divinely daft, gloriously preposterous and utterly silly."

Performances have been extended at the Duchess Theatre through October 2027.
