Lady Windermere's Fan review
Jennifer Saunders looks at times as though she is taking part in a Comic Relief sketch and some people may think that there are traits in her portrayal - the goggling deadpans; the lines that leak through scarcely parted lips - that are too trademark for comfort. But I was delighted to find it's mostly true to the role.
Paul Taylor, The Independent, 24th January 2018Review: Lady Windermere's Fan
Jennifer Saunders stars in Kathy Burke's production of the comedy classic.
Sarah Crompton, What's On Stage, 23rd January 2018Lady Windermere's Fan review
Jennifer Saunders gets laughs, but Kathy Burke's lamentable production misses the point.
David Benedict, The Arts Desk, 23rd January 2018The Retreat, Park Theatre, London, review
Directed by Kathy Burke, written by Sam Bain, and starring three familiar faces from British TV in recent years, this is a production loaded with talent.
Joe Vesey-Byrne, The Independent, 8th November 2017The Retreat review - funny but faltering Sam Bain play
Tim Auld, The Telegraph, 7th November 2017Kathy Burke: interview
'Lifelong member of the non-pretty working classes'. That's how Kathy Burke describes herself. But the famously outspoken actor and director has proved she can't be pigeonholed. Stefanie Marsh meets her.
Stefanie Marsh, The Guardian, 29th October 2017Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie - review
Producers did not release the Ab Fab film to the critics ahead of its release yesterday, which is rarely a vote of confidence. Add to that the fact that it's a big-screen adaptation of a sitcom - a genre with a patchy track record, The Inbetweeners Movie notwithstanding - and that it uses the tired and tested plot device of plonking their characters somewhere foreign, and the signs are not encouraging. Yet despite such portents, Absolutely Fabulous is as much of a fun, raucous romp as fans would have hoped for - director Mandie Fletcher throwing proceedings into the preposterous story and high camp with as much vigour now as there was when the series started a rather incredible 24 years ago.
Steve Bennett, Chortle, 2nd July 2016Absolutely Fabulous The Movie review
'It certainly makes better use of its armies of celebrities than was managed in Zoolander 2'
Geoffrey Macnab, The Independent, 30th June 2016Ab Fab The Movie review: cameos drab, but leads are fab
No matter how much fashion has moved forward, Eddy and Patsy will always be in style.
Hanna Flint, Metro, 30th June 2016Review: Absolutely Fabulous: The Movie
Celeb cameos galore - including one from a GSN staffer! - in this screwball comedy, but beware a lazy Caitlyn Jenner-inspired subplot, sweetie.
