Tim Jonze, The Guardian, 20th February 2020Greed review
A dismally disappointing effort that lacks the nerve to really go after its targets with any gusto.

Ben Elton's comedy makes the jump from TV screens to the West End stage, starring David Mitchell.
Sarah Crompton, What's On Stage, 18th February 2020The Upstart Crow review
The prime market for this stage version of the popular TV series will inevitably be those who are already diehard fans of the show and / or the multi-talented David Mitchell, making his belated West End debut. They will not be disappointed.
Philip Fisher, British Theatre Guide, 18th February 2020Greed: review
Greed is crude and uneven. But it is also a very funny film about a stratum of society which deserves every opportunity to be mocked. It also focuses on a very serious issue that deserves every opportunity to be altered.

Sitcom Will's stage debut was no error of comedy.
Luke Jones, Daily Mail, 18th February 2020Theatre review: The Upstart Crow, Gielgud Theatre, W1
Ben Elton has never been the coolest of comedians but he has always known how to craft a joke and The Upstart Crow is crammed with them. It is not just funny, it is futtocking funny.

Steve Bennett, Chortle, 18th February 2020Upstart Crow, Gielgud Theatre review
The script is non-stop gags, Shakespeare in-jokes and some gloriously anachronistic lines.
