Overview
- Jordan Fein directs the revival at London’s Bridge Theatre, which is booking through 30 May 2026.
- Critics commend the company’s cohesion, citing Jamie Parker, Katie Brayben, Kate Fleetwood and Chumisa Dornford-May among the standouts.
- Oliver Savile and Rhys Whitfield earn plaudits for a sharply comic turn as the princes, with Agony singled out as a highlight.
- Design and effects receive strong notices, with Tom Scutt’s set and costumes and Aideen Malone’s lighting creating an expanding woodland and heightened act-two visuals.
- Kate Fleetwood’s Act II number Last Midnight is repeatedly highlighted as a showstopper, with reviews noting only minor quibbles and a largely traditional approach.
