Review :
""Flashing, illuminating, moving, funny, passionate, authentic - " - Bernard Levin, Daily Express "Achieves something that few playwrights have ever attempted; it dramatizes work - rising at the end of the first half to a climactic lunch-hour frenzy that is the fullest theatrical expression I have ever seen of the laws of supply and demand." - Kenneth Tynan, The Observer ""... a masterpiece of construction. This National revival confirms its exhilarating theatrical cosmopolitanism as well as its historical poignancy and significance."" - 4* The Independent ""[Wesker] is a dramatist of heart and humanity... a drama of daring ambition and technical invention [that] grips throughout."" 4*, The Telegraph ""The beauty of the play is that the action stems from the rhythms of work yet behind the frenzy lurks an awareness of life's unrealised potential."" 3* Stars The Guardian ""Wesker's strength is his ear for the cadences of ordinary life and a political passion for those who lead it - with wit and energy it keeps you gasping."" - The Times ""Wesker presents us with a fascinating microcosm of the melting-pot of post-war London - [and] the tyranny of the working world"" - Evening Standard ""Anyone who has worked in a restaurant knows the sort of staff they can attract: drinkers, fighters, slackers, sex maniacs. That is the brilliance of Sir Arnold Wesker's play"" - Daily Mail ""A fascinating portrait of post-war, pre-pill Britain's working class - Look behind the counter at McDonald's 50 years on and, but for the hairnets and the fags, little has changed."" - Mail on Sunday"
