★★★★★ “Flowers of the Forest is more than just a play, it is simply a work of art by the artistic playwright John Van Druten. Directed by Anthony Biggs, this is a wonderful and emotional play, that will have you thinking about life, everything we should be grateful for, as well as everything we should be grateful we haven’t endured.” London Theatre News

★★★★★ “In Flowers of the Forest, director Anthony Biggs has crafted a wonderful play that manages to combine poignant messages and tragedy with laugh-out-loud comedy. Unparalleled cast and design and crisp staging melds with a beautifully written script to create a performance that will stay with you forever” View from the Gods

★★★★ “Victoria Johnstone’s clever set unfolds in a way that completely transforms the playing space and while there are several strong performances from the cast of 11, it’s Sophie Ward, as the contained Naomi, who really stands out. Biggs’ production is elegant and measured” The Stage

★★★★ “another beautifully improbable Jermyn triumph: who would expect, in this tiny space, a cast of eleven...and a fine naturalistic set by Victoria Johnstone...Detail, lamplight, candlelight, moonlight, firelight feed in to the pity and understanding both of the period, and of the writing which tried to make sense of it. It deserves full houses.” Theatre Cat

★★★★ “As well as shining a light on the First World War and its aftermath, the moral questions it raises – primarily, is it worth sacrificing scores of young men in the interest of one’s country – could not have come at a more pertinent moment than in the same week MPs voted on military action in Iraq for the third time in 25 years.” Exeunt Magazine

★★★★ “Victoria Johnstone’s design manages the shift between decades brilliantly and so do the actors. In fact, the entire cast is outstanding, with the two sisters Naomi and Mercia transitioning between decades effortlessly. Patrick Drury gives a strong performance as Reverend Huntbach, the restrained traditionalist who embraces the cause of the war in the name of God and the nation. Max Wilson’s Leonard – terminally ill with TB yet full of energy and dreams – is a joy to follow on stage and so are the other actors.” Everything Theatre
