Time Out London
December 2nd, 2022

"With his [Clive Rowe] smouldering maneater schtick, total immunity to embarrassment, deadly way with a quip, world-class singing voice and formidable arsenal of ludicrously OTT outfits, he is a one-man panto all by himself."

"[Clive Rowe acts as] sole director for the first time. The result is fun … There is a grounding of innocence and peril alongside the cheek and the audience interplay… Whether because of the twin demands on Rowe’s time… or simply because the script … [it] feels a bit fussy … this is a good Hackney panto rather than a great one."

“If the intention with Mother Goose was to create a pantomime for the whole family, then they have more than succeeded, grannies and grandkids alike were on their feet, and shaking their tail feathers for the final number. Lots of fun and feeling entirely inclusive, there are still plenty more pantos to open, but this one is surely a strong contender for the best pantomime in London”

"A perfectly balanced mix of polished professionalism and utter chaos, this showcased the very best in panto. ... 'Mother Goose' could be the mother of all pantos. "

"As ever at Hackney there's an admirably traditional feel, with a proliferation of original songs (by Steven Edis) all superbly choreographed by André Fabien Francis. ... Rowe, now a veteran of 15 pantos, deserves his own place in that pantheon."

"Clive Rowe - his electric performance worth the price of admission alone, this show is a bumper cracker’s worth of Christmas cheer."

"Clive Rowe gives a masterly performance as he shapes the high jinks while wearing fabulous frocks in this infectiously funny panto"
