The Last Stand of Mrs. Mary Whitehouse

'Wickedly funny, but also an engrossing, open-minded account of a complex figure whose censoriousness went hand-in-glove with a fearless notion of free speech that feels freshly pertinent'

* Telegraph *

'A vivid romp'

* The Times *

'Witty and timely... peers under the bonnet of the campaigner's self-promotion and asks what it feels like to be running on moral conviction'

* Guardian *

'Fantastic... hilarious... theatrical brilliance... deserves a West End transfer'

* Theatre & Tonic *

'Sharp, clever, funny and relevant... There is a huge amount of humour, expertly peppered throughout... moments of utter poignancy... an incredibly powerful and thought-provoking new play'

* WhatsOnStage *

'Lively and urgent... Bird takes Whitehouse's religious and moral convictions seriously, as well as excavating psychological reasons for her rigidity... moments of agonising sadness... there's plenty of enjoyably camp, knowing humour here, too... culminating in a final scene that's gloriously blasphemous'

* The Stage *

'Mischievous but well researched and ultimately thoughtful... Whitehouse still casts a shadow'

* TheatreCat *

'Unsettling, gripping and revelatory... an outstanding success'

* British Theatre Gui
