'Shakespeare's most linguistically sophisticated comedy becomes thrillingly immediate in Gregory Doran's production...leading a terrific cast, Tennant is a selfless Berowne, light and witty and cool...he is genuine Shakespearean...of the many felicitous things on show here, I enjoyed Riann Steele as Jaquenetta; the appearance of Don Armado (Joe Dixon) and his identically dressed page Moth (Zoe Thorne)...a joyous, exhilarating, big-hearted production...I absolutely loved it.'
Daily Express
'A high-spirited, thoughtful production directed with fizz and finesse by Gregory Doran...a banquet of choice comic acting...Ricky Champ brings a touch of Norman Wisdom to that least wise of clowns, Costard, while Joe Dixon is hilarious as the English-mangling Spanish braggart Don Armado'
Independent
'Tennant shines amid the wit and naughtiness...with strong supporting performances from Mariah Gale as a touching Queen of France, Oliver Ford Davies as a lecherous old pedant and Joe Dixon as a hilariously affected Spaniard, this Love's Labour's Lost proves a tricky play won.'
Daily Telegraph
'This enjoyable production...David Tennant's Scots-accented Berowne...quick witted, wry, waggish and mischievous...Nina Sosanya's enchanting young Rosaline'
Times
'Gregory Doran's playful production'
Daily Mail
'Tennant's sparky Berowne...Nina Sosanya plays Rosaline as a sharp-witted, embryonic Beatrice and Mariah Gale invests the French Princess with an imposing, high-chinned dignity'
