Emphasised by Peter Mumford's wonderful pastiche score;Rourke and designer Robert Jones have set the action in 1980's Gibraltar.
Financial Times
Rourke's production has freshness and wit about it that is often irresistable.
The Daily Telegraph
There is superb support, notably from Adam James as a very manly, worldly Don Pedro.
