“Under starters orders to go down as one of the best feelgood shows of 2013” Liverpool Sound and Vision

“Ken Alexander has backed a winner with the hilarious Ladies Day as his debut show as Artistic Director at The Royal Court.” clickliverpool.com

“Ken Alexander has a real handle on the ebbs and flows of Whittington’s piece, he balances the comedy and the pathos with real care, and manages to combine a clever set by Richard Foxton into the action of the play.” **** thepublicreviews.com

Ladies Day Gallery

"Ladies Day has more layers than some of the knockabout comedies often seen at the Royal Court, and new artistic director Ken Alexander balances the action carefully to give each character’s tale room to breathe. There are laugh-out-loud scenes.... and they are juxtaposed with other moments of surprisingly stark reality for some of the hat-clad quartet." ****
