 | This is hard, sharp, in your face production. The paly has improved since the Stratford run. Go and see it, Will Houston is brilliant...what's he in next! - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 11 Apr 01 |
| Terrific stuff! Superb acting by all the cast. Thought provoking and exciting too. - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 02 Apr 01 |
| William Houston holds the show, with great performances by Richard Bremmer(Pistol), Arthur Cox(Bandolph), and Sandra Voe (Mistress Quickly). The show is not as rounded by the rest of the cast as is Henry IV parts1& 2, but is still a worthwhile see. - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 01 Apr 01 |
| Outstanding! With lots of fine detail, even the smaller characters like Fluellen are beautifully observed, but William Houston is THE commanding presence. The footballing 'tribe loyalty' analogy is very apt too. - USER: Whatsonstage.com | 28 Mar 01 |
