Review:
A satisfying narrative with a host of winning performances and a terrific selection of popular songs from the period. --4 stars Daily Telegraph
Leyshon has previously been noted for delicately devastating small-scale pieces. With Bedlam, though, she goes for broke in the opposite direction, turning the Globe into a chaotic madhouse and filling it with slapstick energy and blackly gleeful exuberance ...... the determined, high-spirited foolery has a sanitising, feel good effect. --The Independent
