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.

Wonderful and surprising production,emotionally draining but in a good way, certainly not too long as other reviews have complained about,creative sets wonderful acting all round,Sir Ian perfect for the sad/funny role of Falstaff,a very interesting slice of English history which is self contained and understandable,it's new daring and creative-just what the theatre needs breathing fresh air into Shakespeare without being pretentious or over complicated,would highly recommend

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!

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!

I lived the modern setting. It was clever and easy to follow the plot. Have never seen this before and Sir Ian was fabulous, and also the actor playing Hal. I was worried it was long but was brilliant.

The sets, the cast, the way the story weaves together, brilliant! .. wasn't looking forward to 4 hours, but wanted to see it again when it finished. Ian McKellen is such a generous actor, bringing out the star in all the cast. Outstanding in every way, loved it.
