Recensione:

If anybody can coral this seething story of massacres, earthquakes, famine and a love blossoming among a briar patch into a satisfying stage show, it's surely Rona Munro, who earths nearly all of the novel's bitter fury with the futility of war, the use of soldiers as cannon fodder, and the calamitous consequences for ordinary people. --Telegraph

Magical... Moving... Majestic... Captain Corelli's Mandolin may seem to be a gorgeous oasis of escapism. But with its grumbling empathy, its endless reserves of resilience and hope, it also shows that, no matter how troubled the changing world, there is nevertheless compassion, beauty and merriment to be found in the most unexpected of people and places, if only we are open-hearted enough to look for them. --A Younger Theatre

As much about the horror and powerlessness of war as it is about romance... it is by turns shocking and wondrous. --Guardian

Heartfelt, inventive, kinetic and requisitely whimsical... beyond valiant... a rich and ambitious piece of theatre. --Time Out

Magical.... De Bernières wanted the stage version to be as true to the book as possible and Rona Munro's version is a success... The madness of war is driven home on many levels, softened by a romance that seems genuinely tender. -- --The Times

A major adaptation... vivid and tumbling with a pleasing eye for the appealing rhythms of Greek Island life... Real riches and depths. --Evening Standard
