Saw the production at Norwich and so glad I made the effort. Time flew by - not disappointed with McKellen replacement - energetic, roguish, manipulative yet whole hearted Prince Hal extraordinary - what a talent - will look him out in future

I took away an impression of a self-serving, malevolent and sinister, tempter, Falstaff and I worried for everyone held in his sway. The most moving scene, for me, was that of Hal recognising the Lord Chief Justice's efforts to keep him safe.

We were concerned about the length of the play. But were thrilled by the quality of acting and actually felt it went In a flash… Sir Ian Mckellan was magnetic and remorselessly funny. Toheeb Jimoh Was outstanding as Hal and a wonderful foil to McKellan. If I could see this masterpiece again… I would. For all lovers of Shakespeare please love, laugh and enjoy this wonderful performance.

Booked to watch Player Kings at the Noël Coward theatre very last minute. Very glad I did... It did not disappoint. Sir Ian was wonderful. Absolutely mesmerising. The energy, commitment and sheer charisma the man brought to the role were off the charts. One of our finest. Toheeb Jimoh was also stunning as Hal. Wonderful actor and really enjoyed their scenes together. All the actors and ensemble cast were brilliant and you could tell they had a great rapport and had a lot of fun making this. Thoroughly enjoyed the play as a whole. Interesting set pieces, visual and sound effects well thought out and kept the play moving seamlessly forward at a hearty pace. Well deserved standing ovation at the end. Thank you for a wonderful night. Go watch it! Even if you are not a Shakespeare fan, this will knock your socks off!

Completely disagree with John from Cheshire. Sir Ian McKellen has a great sense of humour: I remember his hilarious and brilliantly scripted performance in Coronation Street. He must be one of our most versatile actors ever. To witness his epic role as Falstaff in Player Kings was unmissable, despite the length of the production.

Toheeb Jimoh's Prince Harry is a mastery of space and time. His performance leaves the audience in a state of uncertainty, questioning whether he is a brutal thug or a brilliant rebel. Undoubtedly, he has earned his rightful place on the stage alongside Sir Ian, who is, as ever, captivating. This is a long ride without a doubt, but what an exhilarating journey it is!
