Winslow Reviews Part 2

The Huffington Post has only praise for Roger's performance: "Roger Rees delivers a sterling performance as the driven Arthur Winslow" and "The elder Winslow is so convinced of his son's innocence he is determined to prove it even at the cost of his own health -- Rees brilliantly progresses from limp to cane to wheelchair over the course of play -- his family's financial ruin, and social ostracism."

Full review at the Huffington Post.

Bloomsberg Business News says that "The Roundabout has struck gold with Terence Rattigan’s 1946 play, “The Winslow Boy.” It returns Roger Rees to Broadway after a long hiatus, perfectly cast as a man determined to defend family honor against extraordinary odds." And continues: "Rees ideally captures the almost sickly Arthur’s invigoration at the challenge and his slow, subsequent diminishment as he is sapped of health, wealth and stamina by the prolonged battle."

BroadwayWorld has a short video feature, which includes an interview with Roger and some footage of the production at BroadwayWorld.com.

Playbill has collected more reviews at Playbill.com. They also have a photo gallery of the curtain call and the party.

Winslow Reviews Part 1

The reviews for The Winslow Boy are coming on and Roger is praised for this portrayal of Arthur Winslow.

The Washington Post says the production shines with Roger Rees and adds: "Roger Rees is excellent as the Winslow patriarch, a man whose body is beginning to betray him but whose dry humor and compassion stays intact. The touching scene in which Rees first confronts the frightened Ronnie over his expulsion reveals this father will be no stern Edwardian robot."

Theatermania also praises Roger's performance: "Rees shines as the head of the Winslow household, exhibiting a silent regality that slowly crumbles as the fight to wipe the stain from his son's name takes its emotional and physical toll. Though the sacrifices he and the rest of his family make, weighed against the potential gains of a legal victory, do not balance the scales of justice, Arthur insists on striving for right, living by the words "let right be done" (translated from the Latin phrase "fiat justitia") — a term that becomes both his personal motto and a necessary legal endorsement he must obtain for his petition of right to be heard by the courts."

Winslow Interview

Roger talks to Broadway.com about the new production of "The Winslow Boy": "This is the first revival since it was done on Broadway in 1947, and it’s lovely to see the audience reacting so well. I’ve always loved the play, so I jumped at the chance to do it. It’s British in its sensibilities, but the subject matter—a father’s belief in his son’s truth and honor, and the ends he will go to to protect that honor—is universal."
