'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 Dylans back catalogue is used to glorious effect in Conor McPhersons 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 Dylans 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. Its a privilege to watch' * TheatreCat * 'A populous, otherworldly play that combines the hard grit of the great Depression with something numinous and mysterious' * Telegraph *
