• “…the death of Cavan’s impressive, swaggeringly athletic Mercutio is played for jet black laughs only to make his anguished last-gasped “a plague on both your houses” curse all the more bitterly tragic: it’s a chilling theatrical moment in an evening studded with them.” – 4 stars – Alun Hood, WhatsOnStage

• “Cavan Clarke’s Mercutio steals the spotlight … Cavan is a cocky, charming, restless Mercutio, and the stage is most alive when he’s on it. He seems to revel in his words, speaking them with as much flourish as he uses when wielding his sword. When he dies, the rest of the play feels the lack of him.” – 3 stars – Kate Wyver, The Guardian

• “Cavan also stands out as Mercutio, bringing dynamism and humour” – 2 stars – Jessie Thompson, Evening Standard

• “Clarke prods and teases, provokes and preaches, cackles and chortles and is the architect of his own undignified demise … we like a provocateur, don’t we? Particularly one who makes us laugh, for which the impish Clarke gives us plenty of opportunity in his engaging performance.” – 5 stars – Peter Yates, LondonTheatre

• “Sykes has brought a truly contemporary feel to this adaptation … it feels accessible, fast-paced and a masterpiece in its own rite. Cavan is charming” – 4 stars – Ezelle Alblas, The Upcoming

First reviews are in for The National Theatre’s My Country, directed by Rufus Norris.

My Country plays at The National until 21st March, before embarking on a UK-wide tour.

The press on Cavan and My Country:

• “Suddenly, as if at some lightly potty version of Pentecost, the actors start to give tongue in voices that are counter to their own gender, race and age. A ventriloquial shudder can pass through a bearded, baactor and turn him by degrees into an Alan Bennett-style woman. Categories and coordinates misbehave. There’s an absurdist outbreak of metempsychosis, region by region, performed as if it’s nearly the most natural thing in the world.” 5 stars, Paul Taylor, The Independent
• “Compassionate, funny and insightful, it is a pleasure to take it in the company of actors as good as Cavan Clarke” 4 stars, Sarah Crompton, What’s On Stage
• “the excellent ensemble” Marianka Swain, Broadway World
• “The ensemble are extraordinary, perfectly capturing the speech patterns and rhythms of their region, reflecting the diverse personality of the UK.” 5 stars, Paul T Davies, British Theatre

• “a bleak, if brutally funny, reminder that behind each revolution lies those merely trying to preserve whatever meagre life they had managed to construct from their poverty in the face of sweeping change.” 4 Stars, Connor Campbell, The Upcoming
