Review: Tamsin Greig & Martin Freeman in Labour Of Love
James Graham's new political comedy drama is astoundingly current.
John Nathan, Metro, 5th October 2017Labour of Love: valid and valiant response
It possibly ranks as one of Tamsin Greig's finest hours, even if this isn't James Graham's - the script contains a handful of the most laboured gags you'll hear outside the perimeters of the party conferences, the sitcom-ish second scene urgently needs fixing and poor Rachael Stirling as Lyons's unsupportive wife is saddled with the sort of horsey, stuck-up stereotype even Class War would find lacking in nuance. Not a landmark theatrical victory, at the final count, but valid and valiant all the same.
Dominic Cavendish, The Telegraph, 4th October 2017Labour of Love review
Above all, it's a play about love - of party, friends, country - and it's testament to Labour that despite an impressively long history of self-destruction, you can't for a second imagine a play like this being written about the other lot. Raise the scarlet standard high!
Andrzej Lukowski, Time Out, 4th October 2017Labour of Love, theatre review
Labour Party play makes West End a safe seat for James Graham.
Henry Hitchings, Evening Standard, 4th October 2017Review: Labour of Love
Sharp and funny political rom-com hits upon a winning combination.
Ann Treneman, The Times, 4th October 2017Labour of Love, review
Labour of Love provides rich comedy but also an insightful look at the dirty world of local politics seen through the eyes of a well-matched political duo who can appreciate each other's viewpoints while violently disagreeing with them at the same time.
Philip Fisher, British Theatre Guide, 4th October 2017Review: Freeman and Greig shine in Labour of Love
Intriguing new play tells the story of the modern Labour party through the prism of an MP and his agent.
Ben Dowell, Radio Times, 4th October 2017'Labour of Love': theater review
Sherlock star Martin Freeman plays a doomed Labour MP in James Graham's latest look at British political life, also starring Tamsin Greig.
Demetrios Matheou, Hollywood Reporter, 4th October 2017Principle vs power: Labour of Love review
James Graham's play cleverly explores the dilemma at the heart of the Labour party.
Ian Shuttleworth, The Financial Times, 4th October 2017Review - Labour of Love
As with This House (soon to tour the UK), James Graham is able to make the workings of politics and politicians both theatrically compelling and deeply human.
