Time Out London
September 27th, 2023

"It’s a very cosy play in a lot of ways, but the venerable duo’s big, end-of-first-act snog feel quietly radical."

London Theatre
September 28th, 2023

“I don’t know if I’d run to see ’Frank & Percy’ in less expert hands. But the present company makes it an experience worth treasuring even as you wonder just when the indefatigable McKellen will return to the theatre once again.”
