My City: Curtain Up review

There is an interview with Michael Attenborough, the artistic director of the Almeida Theatre on this website, which mentions My City. The Curtain Up website has posted a great review of the play.

The performances are excellent. Tracey Ullman’s Miss Lambert holds the assembly of children in her hand with her exquisite story telling. David Troughton’s Mr Minken starts to behave oddly, obsessive- compulsively he guards the materials from so long ago and as he gives them up, he goes to pieces. It is distressing to watch Richard, in this, probably the saddest of Poliakoff’s works for the stage. Some will find it slow theatre but for those happy to daydream, the stories are magical...

There are some lovely words about Tom's performance (and voice) on the There Ought To Be Clowns blog, although the blogger wasn't  keen on the play overall. 

Riley – who has a meltingly beautiful voice by the way – makes an extremely decent fist of it and has a great sparky connection with Siân Brooke’s excellently brusque Julie
