Reviews: “The piece was brilliantly acted. Mr. Michael Redgrave as leader of a forlorn hope had real passion. The others, notably Mr. Stephen Haggard and Mr. Glen Byam Shaw, took their cue from him admirably, and Mr. Marius Goring deserved very great praise for travelling so far from his usual self. But you may travel a long way from St. Pancras without getting to St. Petersburg! Mr. Goring’s study of the third-rate opera singer who is also Shakespeare’s Mercutio turned volunteer in the White Army, struck me as probably near to a character wholly foreign to him as a French actor’s Hibernian character-sketch would get to Mr. O’Casey’s Paycock!” (James Agate in The Sunday Times 09/10/1938)
