Hansard Reviews

The first reviews for Hansard are in. They tend to have reservations about the play, but high praise for both actors!

In the Evening Standard Nick Curtis writes:

"The bulk of the 90-minute running time, with a Thatcherite MP and his wife at war in the Cotswolds, exchanging insults like fighting cocks, is elevated by Lindsay Duncan and Alex Jennings, both on beady, withering form."

In The Telegraph Dominic Cavendish writes:

"Jennings, ramrod-backed and vaguely ruddy-cheeked, is good at suggesting a concertedly bluff attitude that’s also a lordly, controlling condescension."

Full review at The Telegraph.



In the Guardian Michael Billington writes:

"Jennings has the trickier task in that it is hard to sympathise with his character’s air of misogynistic entitlement. He is forever putting down his wife, dislikes drama and fiction because “the people who in real life contribute the absolute least get all the sympathy”, and takes predictable pot-shots at the Guardian for its mix of “righteous indignation and typographical inaccuracy”. Yet Jennings suggests that Robin’s patrician superiority conceals a vulnerable, emotionally wounded human being."

Sarah Crompton, Whatsonstage:

"As Robin, Jennings gets a lot of the best lines, and some of the best arguments; he is no cardboard Tory, set up to be hated. But what's extraordinary is the depth of feeling he finds and conveys. At the close, as the terrible, sad, secret at the heart of this dysfunctional relationship is revealed, his face just crumbles, frozen in grief and unhappiness, absolutely breaking your heart."
