"Stepping into the shows of characters in an old classic is difficult, but Alan Davies and Bill Bailey fit their roles like a glove. Played with excellent comedy timing, the titular pair move in with each other to cope with divorce. They fill the stage with the chemistry of friendship, an explosive one at that. Supported by an energetic and capable cast, this is a strong production that manages to make the the "odd couple" extreme in their neuroses without sacrificing their humanity... Definitely one to watch." (Three Weeks)
"Guy Masterson's production does not take long to efface memories of Matthau and Lemmon. Bill Bailey, with his slouch and wizard's hair, could have been born to incarnate the slovenly Oscar; Alan Davies, whose Jonathan Creek was a byword in repression, is almost as well cast as the neurotic Felix.' (The Guardian)
The scene when folorn sociopath Felix reduces [the English sisters'] hearty guffawing to girly tears is an absolute joy in this, a truly 21st century treatment of a modern classic." (The Herald)
"Played at a cracking pace, The Odd Couple hi-jinks its way through a mirth-filled hour and 45 minutes... Director Guy Masterson had his hands full with a cast and play such as this, but managed to get it right in almost every way." (The Daily Mail)
"The play is... never less than sharp, snappy, Simon-style fun." (The Times)
