Reviews
The Stage
Nicholas Hamilton
"The morality is explicit, but is made palatable by the humour of the stock characters and the outright kookiness of the story, particularly with the entrance of a smug God-like character who administers justice in his linen suit."

Time Out
Andrzej Lukowski
"Though it gets a little fire and brimstone at the end, 'Outward Bound' works because it never lets the scenario eclipse the sparky bickering. The play has had its day, but it's too interesting to deserve to be forgotten."

The Times
Sam Marlowe
"A curious cocktail of melodrama, thriller and broad comedy. The ingredients are individually pleasing; the humour, mostly occasioned by one Mrs Cliveden- Banks, a colossal snob, is toe-curlingly funny. And plot strands involving the anguished couple and a working-class woman whose feckless son blew all her hard-earned money are irresistibly touching. But the abrupt shifts in tone induce seasickness."

Michael Billington
"If there is an afterlife, it would be good to know you'd be met there by someone as wisely cheerful as Martin Wimbush's Examiner who, in dress and manner, reminded me of the late, great cricket commentator Brian Johnston."
