Ray Connolly's delicately drawn tale of a marriage between a nun and a priest, God Bless Our Love, was a delight, while David Neilson, abandoning his dog collar for a wedding ring, brought to the role the subtle brilliance we see in his playing of Roy Cropper in Coronation Street.

Moira Petty, The Stage, 22nd February 2010

Ray Connolly's play is gently comedic, about two middle-aged people who fell in love over a book trolley and married. Both of them were, actually, already married to God, as he was a priest and she was a nun. Leaving their orders was difficult, learning to live in a changed world proves even more so. If you think you recognise the voice of the man, Michael, it's because if you're a Coronation Street fan, you'll know it as that of Roy Cropper, cafe proprietor and train enthusiast. David Neilson, who plays them both, gives a fine performance here.
