“A magnificent Falstaff…she is glorious. A one-person vindication of the all-female enterprise. If it were needed.”
Susannah Clapp, The Observer
“The evening, though, belongs to Ashley McGuire’s corpulent, cockney and comically delightful Falstaff…hugely appealing…frankly unforgettable”
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph
