My City: more reviews and audio clip

The Evening Standard gave My City 3 stars but was complimentary about Tom.

At the outset she is resting on a park bench and her former pupil Richard (a convincing Tom Riley) stumbles on her. This prompts him to renew contact with on-off friend Julie (Siân Brooke) and soon they are part of a quintet involving Lambert and two of their other old teachers, both deeply strange.

The play was also reviewed last night by Susannah Clapp for BBC Radio 3 Nightwaves. You can listen to the full review on iPlayer - interestingly a brief audio clip from the first scene of My City is included.

Three stars also from The Telegraph.

...as well as Ullman’s mesmerisingly enigmatic Miss Lambert there is fine support from Sorcha Cusack and the splendidly disconcerting David Troughton as two of her former colleagues, and from Tom Riley and Sian Brooke as their puzzled former pupils...

Michael Coveney has posted an article about attending the press night on the What's On Stage website. There is a blog review to be found here, where Tom is described as being brilliantly disbelieving and disarming as Richard.
