SACHA GUITRY MA FILLE ET MOI
★★★★
http://everything-theatre.co.uk/2018/01/sacha-guitry-ma-fille-et-moi-drayton-arms-theatre-review.html
"Excellent"
"Multipurpose theatre that will leave you smiling, questioning and full of admiration"
« That is one of the great joys of Marianne Badrichani and company’s creations; the pleasure, and the process of discovery, continue long after the show has ended.
Yet, if you took the biographical aspect out of it, you would still be left with a very funny and acute portrait of theatrical life, full of insecurity, vanity, tension and thrills
There is something so satisfying about a show that leaves you properly entertained, significantly better informed and feeling clever, as if you’ve just deciphered some part of a tricky puzzle. This is becoming the stock in trade of Badrichani and her collaborators."

"there's much to enjoy in this humorous and entertaining show."

"The play’s most interesting themes revolve around the extent to which are aware of the boundaries between ourselves and the roles we play, especially in the case of women of Guitry’s era who had roles imposed upon them, and for whom being an actress could be an escape from convention, but still with a price-tag in social reputation attached."

"And what a splendid, innovative, engaging show it is! Performed in French with very clear surtitles, five of Guitry's plays provide sources for some funny, poignant and wry observations on the battle of sexes."

"There are precious few other words to describe Marianne Badrichani and Edith Vernes’Ma fille et Moibut utterly charming.
"It is an hour and a half of charm, wit and minimalist, very human, emotion."

★★★★★ Review by Kay Bradley for Exeunt

★★★★★ Rating: 100% - Review by Clare Annamalai for EVERYTHING THEATRE
"Unmissable. Funny, clever, exhilarating theatre"

★★★★★ Review by Genni Trickett for LONDON THEATRE
"Marianne Badrichani has created a world of genius and beautiful folly (...) She and the cast take us by the hand and dance us through landscapes which are surreal, erotic and profoundly absurd, leaving us baffled, bewitched and, in some cases, breathless with laughter."

“A peppy entertaining production by Marianne Badrichani deftly acted by Robert Bathurst and Nicolas Tennant”
★★★Sunday Times
“Actors are excellent, rope dancing skillfully between the devil of seriousness and the deep blue sea of boulevard polish”
★★★ Daily Mail
"An unusual, fanciful play"
THREE WOMEN
Time Out
"A delightful production"
“Ann Firbank is pleasingly unpredictable as beady-eyed Mrs Chevalier and Camilla Rutherford conveys the sense of injustice of the young Joelle (…). Marcia Warren as the middle-aged carer seems most at home with the black comedy : her timing and expression of buttoned-down panic are delightful”.
Financial Times
“3 Women has a charming quirkiness and old-fashioned tone reminiscent of dramas such as Ionesco’s “The Bald Prima Donna” and Durrenmatt’s “The Visit” (…). Marianne Badrichani handles the play with a light and loving touch"
