" Almost indecently enjoyable. "
" The closing carnage... presented as a brilliantly choreographed dance of death complete with black angels and sinister exotic references. "
" Dark, decadent and immensely stylish, Women Beware Women makes you laugh even as you shiver. "

DAILY TELEGRAPH ****

" The climactic scene of heartless lust, greed and carnage is one of the best ever staged at the Olivier. The stage - haunted by devilish creatures in skull caps and black wings - revolves, revealing one spectacular4 fatality after another in a whirling dance of death. "
MAIL ON SUNDAY ****

" The production gradually darkens as it approaches the climactic masked ball, delivered here on the revolving stage as a dizzying dance of murder. "
" This is a staging that wraps its inky fingers around you and holds you, spellbound "

FINANCIAL TIMES ****

" Most effective of all is the finale of the masked ball, where the swirling set, smoky air and seductive music turns the final roll call of bodies into a heady orgy of death. "
DAILY EXPRESS ****

" Marianne Elliott's production of this 1621 play by Thomas Middleton culminates in a gorgeous, debauched masked ball. "
