"Wearing waistcoats bedecked with pierrot pompoms, and against a backdrop of horrific newsreel footage and stark white crosses which double as prop stands, a versatile band of five sing, dance, play a variety of instruments, make us laugh and bring us very close to tears."

"The first night of Oh What A Lovely War in Chelmsford’s Civic Theatre knocked me for six, & I’ve seen it 6 times! The reason? Not only did the young cast poignantly deliver this unique show, they did so playing instruments throughout. There was a huge interval buzz about their astonishing feat... Look out for members of Blackeyed Theatre! On this evidence, they provide a magical experience."

“If you’re planning to see Oh! What A Lovely War at Greenwich Theatre, get ready for something extra special in the British drill scene. Robert Harding is the regimental sergeant major to end all RSMs as he puts three young soldiers through their paces. The best example I’ve seen in recent years was by Michael Palin in Python mode on the parade ground, but I think young Mr Harding’s demented version tops even that."

“Blackeyed Theatre Company's pared-down production of Oh What a Lovely War! directed by Adrian McDougall is performed by five multi talented actor/musicians, Robert Harding, Ben Harrison, Joseph Mann, Paul Morse and Tom Neill who provide the splendid musical accompaniment and spirited acting all performed with gusto.”

“Having seen the show in its first West End run in 1963, I would agree with Brian Murphy (an original cast member) that this is ‘a splendid revival that does the original production proud.’”
