Review:
Campbell Kay's adaptation of Cranford is extremely entertaining and, on
occasion, very funny. However, underscoring the comedy is the reality of life
in a small rural town as it undergoes social and industrial change. The play
skilfully and subtly conveys the conflicts, struggles and triumphs of the ladies
of Cranford as they come to terms with their changing circumstances. --Richard Spurr - BBC Radio
[An] evening of gentle humour and humanity. But besides being a faithful
rendition of Cranford in terms of narrative, Campbell Kay's adaptation
captures the underlying themes of the original novel. It is clear that an old
order is giving way to a new - the railway has arrived. The old Tory values of a
small country town are about to be swept aside by industrial capitalism. -- Nottingham Evening Post
