Admid freezing temperatures and heavy snowful, Stephen Beresford's icy epic opened at the Old Vic to a warm reception by the critics.
'In celebrating the power of stagecraft, Beresford and Webster have made a truly effective slice of theatre' - What'sOnSatge
'In the end, the luxuriant staging and the sheer force of Bergman's concluding message - that ""there is no shame in deriving pleasure from this little world"" and that we mortals cannot hope to understand everything under God's sun (if God there be) - won me round and I felt like cheering when that lad Handley, flanked by the great Wilton and Pennington, took his curtain call.' - The Daily Mail
'What I most enjoyed was the acting. Wilton is superb as Alexander’s grandmother.' - The Gurdian
