The first in LWT's new series of Alan Bennett plays, Me! I'm Afraid of Virginia Woolf, was one word too long in its tide but otherwise perfectly judged.

Clive James, The Observer, 10th December 1978

Me! I'm Afraid of Virginia Woolf, the first of six plays by Alan Bennett to be produced by LWT was very funny indeed with all the sadness that the very word gay suggests.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 4th December 1978
