 | My son and I saw this last night, not knowing at all what to expect. Between us we knew just enough of the history to make sense of what we saw and learned far more. The acting was so compelling it was difficult at times not to contribute to the arguments on stage. The set was hauntingly lovely and Stephen Boxer's portrayal of Tyndale extraordinary. We've spent the day talking about the play and were caught, groupie-like and gawping when Oliver Ford-Davies walked past our hotel this morning. I'm actually not always all that keen on theatre, but this was wonderful. - Melinda Derry | 31 Dec 11 |
| An excellent evening. The premise of the play probably seems dull until you actually go and see it.Stephen Boxer brilliantly conveyed William Tyndale's passion for a bible that a ploughboy could read.The tension between church and state and the power struggles amongst the clergy were excellently shown. - Rose Evans | 12 Nov 11 |
| I think the RSC would be wise to take this baby to London. With two seasoned stars on the bill, and a world class playwright premiereing here his best work in 10 years, take it into London and see what happens. It's terrific now - what will it be like in the spring? - Marvin | 09 Nov 11 |
