Thark
“THARK … now at the Yvonne Arnaud Theatre, is vintage Travers and a master-touch has been applied by the director, Ray Cooney … He has achieved a vitality and pace that could hardly fail to keep almost any audience right on their toes.” – The Stage, 22nd July 1965
“At the Garrick, THARK has been given a mediocre production with several of the parts either miscast or extremely badly played … Ray Cooney’s direction is brash and heavy handed, when delicacy and subtlety are needed.” – The Stage, 5th August 1965
