Reviews
JONAH & OTTO
“The performances are memorable: Peter Egan’s Otto is like an onion, gradually unpeeling himself – a performance of braided intricacies, unshowy and generous. It feels genuinely lived, as we gradually see this man, literally, stripped bare” - Lyn Gardner (The Guardian)
“Both leads are strong, Peter Egan’s warm sultry tones engaging you from the start. His Otto begins the play in vulnerable isolation, but you quickly realise that therein lies his power. He accepts it and does not fear it. It is this that allows him to open up to Jonah, the mischievous confidante that fate has brought into his life.” - Yassine Senghor (The Upcoming)
OTHER DESERT CITIES
“Egan give Lyman a dapper, deceptively affable gravitas.” - Dominic Maxwell (The Times)
“Peter Egan is deeply moving as the grieving father appalled by what his beloved daughter is proposing to do.” - Charles Spencer (The Daily Telegraph)
FIRST LOVE
“And if Peter Egan sometimes seems slightly uncomfortable with the wicked bite of Beckett’s humour, he captures that lonely lyricism with a force as moving as it is memorable” - Kenneth Walton (The Daily Telegraph)
“Peter Egan perfectly captures the air of gentleman tramp, raffish but literate, having seen better days (and, this being Beckett, worse), wryly funny but haunted by pain.” - Peter Hoyle (Financial Times)
PEOPLE
“Peter Egan exudes cool charm as an old friend who happens to direct movies of an adult nature” - Matthew Amer (Official London Theatre.com)
“There’s also excellent work from….Peter Egan as Dorothy’s porn-directing old flame.” - Charles Spencer (The Daily Telegraph)
