The Graduate (Gielgud Theatre, West End)
Back to Show Details| Score | Comment | Date |
 | Anne Archer slips into Mrs Robinson's high heeled shoes with ease. This is a funny, nostalgic and clever play. Ok, so The Graduate is nothing original or new but if you’re a fan of the movie or you want to see a slick play with plenty of laughs and which will evoke memories of your teenage years then this is for you. - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 24 Aug 01 |
| Anne Archer is amazing. She buried her 'wifey' movie roles with this seductive, and at times poignant performance. The Graduate is better than the play. 2nd year in and completely critic proof! So much more than a nude scene! - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 05 Aug 01 |
| Nice body, shame about the voice! - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 02 Aug 01 |
| Just seen Anne Archer in the role- she really gives a fine performance. The show is really going from strenght to strength. I'm glad it's entering its 2nd year. The play is more than a re-tread of the film- it's funny, sad the set is amazing. - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 06 Jul 01 |
| i quite like anne archer too (like your reviewer) but found coral beed annoying. andres williams' accent didn't bother me too much but my american friend said it was dreadful. still we had a lot of fun, i wish they'd played more simon and garfunkel music though - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 22 Jun 01 |
| The Graduate is a really entertaining piece of theatre. Sure, it's not ground-breaking but at times- it is sexy, poignant and amusing. More things than most plays! Donohoe spits her lines out with venom and a sense of irony and the rest of the cast are excellent. Looking forward to seeing Anne Archer next. If you like theatre to be fun- see The Graduate.

| What's all the hype about ? Amanda Donohoe sizzled as Mrs Robinson and Andres Williams was like a young Jerry Lewis but the show itself was a bit flat - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 17 Apr 01 |
| Give it a rest. This is fun and diverting entertainment, and Amanda Donohoe is *really* good. This part is right up her street and good on her for taking it on - or off, as the case may be! - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 09 Apr 01 |
| This is an absolutely horrible show. The sentiment of the audience was, why did they bother turning this into a play? It gains no power in the transition. A real disappointment. - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 10 Mar 01 |
