'Tremendous, gorgeous, devastating... The P Word is heart-meltingly lovely, full of faith in the transformative power of love and friendship' * Time Out * 'A tremendous two-man rom-com' * The Times * 'A love story of heat and heart... Akhtar's script is self-aware and sprinkled with humour... thrillingly moving' * The Stage * 'A tightly woven blend of acute observational humour, heartstopping drama, and chilling social commentary; Akhtar has so much to say, and somehow he manages to express himself with great skill and heart in approximately 80 minutes of stage time... truly magical... a fantastic piece of new writing... As far as I'm concerned, the P is for perfection' * Broadway World * 'Part gay Bollywood romcom, part nail-biting thriller... an uplifting, heartwarming and incredibly funny piece of theatre' * Theatre Weekly * 'An irresistible romance and so much more... a bewitching love story that raises urgent issues... the story has an irresistible quality that makes us believe in it and we are swept along... a drama with hope, romance and heart' * Guardian * 'A beautifully wrought two-hander... Impressively heartfelt... Akhtar's writing is beautiful in its playfulness and precision... the Bollywood-style romantic ending is delivered brilliantly, so beautifully done you won't be afraid to cry... a perfect balance of joy and gloom... genuinely urgent and moving' * Arts Desk *
