Critics have stopped by The Critic, the dark and sharp-witted new thriller starring stage and screen icon, Ian McKellen. Read the reviews!
The Irish writer Brendan Behan described critics as “eunuchs in a harem; they know how it’s done, they’ve seen it done every day, but they’re unable to do it themselves”. Quite a damning characterisation. Anand Tucker introduces an ageing critic, Jimmy Erskine, whose name and ruthlessness are the stuff of legends. When a struggling actress becomes entangled in his web, Erskine drags both of them down a dangerous path. Loosely based on Anthony Quinn’s novel Curtain Call but featuring a different premise, The Critic is a solid, witty black comedy before seamlessly shifting into a chic crime drama.
Philip Quast, a three-time Laurence Olivier Award winner, will star in the UK premiere of PHILIP QUAST: THE ROAD I TOOK, showcasing his illustrious career in musical theatre.
