Reviews

"The only person who fully commands our sympathy is Lear’s Fool... as portrayed by the excellent Adrian Scarborough"

 Ben Brantley
The New York Times

"Adrian Scarborough's excellent Fool is a melancholy music hall comic in a check suit and feathered trilby, full of oblique, subtly anguished concern for his master." Paul Taylor
The Independent

"[The Fool] played with a lovely melancholy by Adrian Scarborough" Charles Spencer
The Daily Telegraph
