| | What's New | Acorn Antiques Closed 21st May 2005 Victoria Wood's new musical Acorn Antiques at The Haymarket Theatre has announced a four week extension up to 21 May 2005 For all its silliness, Acorn Antiques could well become a cult hit. Some of the parts are undoubtedly a scream. A Mrs. Overall song about the benefits of a cup of tea, and how preferable it is to drugs, is an instant comedy classic... Guy-roped in an England of Vimto and coconut slices, macaroons and piles. Acorn is healthily self-deprecating.
The Daily Mail |
| Theatre Review | Acorn Antiques Trevor Nunn’s jaunty production teems with lines that few but its author could have penned. Her name may be Wood, but her writing is concrete... The lines keep coming, though those within the songs tend to be masked by the music, which is a pity, for Wood is as sprightly a lyricist as she is a dramatist, composer and everything else. The result is mischievous, good-natured, charming.
The Times
We're sucked into a barmy world where Julie Walters' hysterically funny Mrs. O can achieve apotheosis by getting in a chair lift to paradise, her pinafore turned golden and Bob Fosse-like with gladness... Director Trevor Nunn pushes the ingredients of this pedigree dog's dinner around the plate with flair. The show gets away with murder gloriously. The Independent |
