“Steven Pacey is also excellent as Henry, endowing the character with a buttoned-up, quietly chivalric decency.”

“…Steven Pacey’s thoroughly (to the point of dully) decent Henry about to undergo an invasive police examination in a Turkish jail-house. “It’s at times like this that one wonders: how did I get here?” this retired bank manager asks, in the first of many time-freezing asides to the audience.”

“Steven Pacey’s Henry has a loose-limbed, rather boyish physicality that allows him more easily to let go. He is never quite as straight as the beige-cardigan-over-pinstripes combo would have him appear. He also brings a sympathetic tenderness to the iffy relationship with teenage hippy Tooley (Haley Flaherty), though this doesn’t stop several members of the audience recoiling in shock when they kiss.”

“Steven Pacey…does excellently in conveying both the strait-laced demeanour of a middle-aged, middle-class Englishman while showing flashes of steel beneath.”
