★★★★ “Finlay Glen’s intimate and absorbing production,” The Stage

For To Have and To Hold:

Nominated for London Pub Theatres Award, Best Production.

★★★★★ “An absolute theatrical masterpiece,” Fairy Powered Productions

★★★★★ “Society’s expectations are laid bare in this beautiful story about an elderly couple… Director Finlay Glen has perfected the piece with small details,” London Pub Theatres

★★★★ “Works like a dream with a play made for an intimate setting. Finlay Glen makes full use of space and perspective… A must-see,” Playhouse Pickings

★★★★ “An assured and hopeful story… gripping,” London Theatres 1

“A beautifully tender and perceptive portrait of a marriage… Mark Steere and Susan Graham are perfectly cast and, under the direction of Finlay Glen, give conversational and engaging performances that draw us into their domestic world…,” Everything Theatre

“Director Finlay Glen goes full-throttle into pushing inside the more unsavoury aspects of the material, suggesting the work is less a rosy portrait of a caring and supportive relationship weathering hardships than it is a prolonged psychodrama – a charged and fascinating chronicle of dysfunction,” Lost in Theatre Land
