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."

Full review at Business Week.

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.
