No Quarter (Royal Court - Jerwood Theatre, West End)

 | Tom Sturridge's soused, bitter, vulnerable and ultimately empty Robin makes for an unforgettable character, anchoring a wonderful ensemble. He rocks and spits his words, a snake reluctant to bite, yet unable to resist his nature. Maureen Beattie's dysfunctional mummy is at the heart of his emptiness, her Svengali-like manipulations resonant, both before and beyond the grave. Zoe Boyle and Joshua James embody youthfulness and decadence with inveterate glee, two would-be saviours who are unlikely even to be able to save themselves. - steveatplays | 04 Feb 13 |
| Great show but Maureen Beattie's performance was the best thing in it. What a shame she got killed off so early. - coral | 22 Jan 13 |
