MY CITY, Almeida: Why do I find Stephen Poliakoff's storytelling so much more compelling than K Hunter & Marcello's last week? 4*

The Guardian awarded 3 stars but had good things to say about the acting in general and Tom in particular.

...Tom Riley and Sian Brooke are very good as the once-dyslexic pupils who have benefited from their old headmistress's magical qualities.

Michael Coveney for What's On Stage gave My City 4 stars.

Revisiting this residual memory, Richard and Julie – beguiling Tom Riley as the first, hilarious Sian Brooke as the second – submit to a guided tour of what is usually, for children at least, the private lives of teachers.

Dan Wooller has uploaded lots of great photos of Tom and the cast, taken at last night's My City after party to his website, and also to the What's On Stage website. All photos can be purchased very easily.
