Pamela

"...an imaginative and indeed brilliant piece of work ... Havergal and Morgan have written a new 18th-century play ... a most impressive exercise of creative dramaturgy..." ~ Michael Coveney, The Financial Times

"...author Fidelis Morgan and director Giles Havergal have gracefully subverted Richardson's original ironic sub-title 'Virtue Rewarded' to 'The Reform of a Rake', and their play takes the form of actors rehearsing a final run-through in which the off-stage actors eat, read and chat. Their behaviour contrasts with the extravagant formality of the performing actors to splendid comic effect..." ~ Ann McFerran, Time Out

"[Shared Experience's] triumph in Pamela has been to turn Richardson's two-volume classic of sustained prurience into a sharply enjoyable piece of theatre" ~ Christopher Hudson, Standard
