"The dialogue is both funny and flavorsome, helped along here by a few excellent new jokes added by Richard Bean."--Charles Spencer, Daily Telegraph "Tickled up with new jokes by farmer's son and stand-up turned-playwright Richard Bean, both the countryside and play are even funnier than when this play was written in 1841."--Georgina Brown, Mail on Sunday
