'Ravishing... [Bob Dylan's songs have] never sounded quite so heartbreakingly personal and universal at the same time... the most imaginative and inspired use to date of a popular composer's songbook in this blighted era of the jukebox musical... this is as close as mortals come to heaven on Earth'
* New York Times *
'The idea is inspired and the treatment piercingly beautiful... two formidable artists have shown respect for the integrity of each other's work here and the result is magnificent'
* Independent *
'A show that transports the soul... dialogue flows into a Dylan song and back again in a way that deepens the emotions of both... McPherson has come up with something bewitchingly original. It's pure stage magic'
* The Times *
'Original, beautiful and moving, combining the starkness of Steinbeck with haunting lyricism to create something restless, desperate, hopeful and sad'
* Financial Times *
'Gut-wrenching, glorious... Dylan's songs are brought to life in a spellbinding show'
* Radio Times *
'The play and songs weave around one another, reflecting, deepening, revealing, in exquisitely soulful harmony... shades of O'Neill and Steinbeck... dreamlike and bleakly beautiful'
* Broadway World *
'Bob Dylan's back catalogue is used to glorious effect in Conor McPherson's astonishing cross-section of hope and stoic suffering... it is the constant dialogue between the drama and the songs that makes this show exceptional'
* Guardian *
'Beguiling and soulful and quietly, exquisitely, heartbreaking. A very special piece of theatre'
* Evening Standard *
'Extracts a certain Steinbeckian strand from Dylan's oeuvre... marries the myths of Dylan and the Depression into something timeless and elegant - a stark evocation of the American fundament'
* Time Out *
'Moody and heartfelt as an old movie, a tale harsh as Miller or Tennessee Williams, storytelling resonant and drawing deep... Dylan and McPherson are both poets. Here they meld, mesh, converse. It's a privilege to watch'
* TheatreCat *
'A populous, otherworldly play that combines the hard grit of the great Depression with something numinous and mysterious'
* Telegraph *
