Reviews
The Hypocrite serves as a scabrous, bawdy, witty, often flagrantly silly love-letter to Hull and its purported place in a crucial moment of national history... it hits the bull's-eye...Richard Bean returns to One Man, Two Guvnors form with a brilliantly entertaining new farce. * Telegraph *
Young Marx, a wily, fast-paced comedy * Independent *
One Man, Two Guvnors - You would had to have had a humour by-pass not to enjoy it. * Guardian *
