“Who knew that in a year in which theatreland produced a musical version of Silence of the Lambs and a puppet version of Hamlet that things could get any weirder. Yet they have, thanks to Better Than sex: The Musical, a titillatingly titled musical about the Gunpowder Plot.”

“The result is bold, madcap chaos, as if a GCSE history teacher, undergoing a nervous breakdown, was giving the final lesson of his life. Willfully original, impossible to forget and almost too ridiculous to recommend, this is one of the most bamboozling nights we’ve ever spent at the theatre.”
