Alice Saville, Exeunt Magazine, 13th October 2017Review: Labour of Love, at Noel Coward Theatre
Comedy and compassion as Martin Freeman and Tamsin Greig excel in story of a long-serving Labour MP.
Catherine Usher, Camden New Journal, 13th October 2017Labour of Love, Noel Coward Theatre, review
'Laboured at times, but enough here to secure your vote'
Greg Wetherall, Ham & High, 12th October 2017Review: Labour of Love
"A political rom-com with almost as much drama as our current political leaders."
Matthew Hyde, Attitude Magazine, 11th October 2017Labour of Love review
James Graham's new play, starring Martin Freeman as a Blairite MP and Tamsin Greig as his old-school constituency agent, cleverly illuminates party divisions.
Susannah Clapp, The Observer, 8th October 2017Labour of Love review: These Lefties are all right!
The audience enjoyed the nostalgia, sighing happily when they saw Teletext, a fax machine and an early Nineties mobile telephone. Though it may return one day, at present political centrism seems to have gone the same way as those defunct innovations and that makes this play feel less potent and truthful than it might have done a year or so ago. I'm afraid that, at present, not even the most artful West End production can match real politics for raw theatre.
Quentin Letts, Daily Mail, 6th October 2017Labour of Love, Noel Coward Theatre, London, review
It's rare that five minutes go past without a proper roar of laughter.
Holly Williams, The Independent, 6th October 2017Labour of Love review - Noel Coward Theatre London
Overall, Labour of Love is a wonderful example of how a play about politics can not only be educational but also entertaining as well.
Terry Eastham, London Theatre 1, 6th October 2017Review: Labour Of Love, Noel Coward Theatre
Beautifully researched, the play never preaches as the characters are so real and enjoyable.
