Press night was 14 April for Relative Values. Here are the reviews so far:
Professional Reviews
“Steven Pacey is equally perfectly cast as the Countess’ nephew, bringing a playful, camp vibe to the character that never fails to raise a smile.”
“Patricia Hodge is on fine form as the Countess, and is well complemented by Steven Pacey as her nephew and co-conspirator; Pacey showed a couple of years ago in Charley’s Aunt that he has a talent for playing well-to-do gents who have entered middle age without slowing down or acquiring grace and poise, and his Hon. Peter is cut from the same cloth.”
“Steven Pacey ingeniously finds a gay subtext in the underwritten character of the countess’s nephew”
“… delightful supporting performances from Steven Pacey as a deliciously camp friend of the family”
“… some nice turns coming from Steven Pacey as a gay nephew”
“What could easily become just a vehicle for Hodge’s brilliance reinvents itself as a true ensemble piece, and even Steven Pacey (in the thankless role of the Countess’s nephew) stakes his claim.”
“Steven Pacey plays an amused observer with a Puckish feyness that may not be in the text.”
“Extra credit must go to Steven Pacey as Peter.”
Amateur Reviews
“Steven Pacey’s effete, Woosterish Peter, who steals many scenes with a raised eyebrow or arch comment.”
“Special mentions have to be given to the performances from Zimmerman (Miranda), Quentin (Moxie) and Stephen [sic] Pacey (Felicity’s amusing nephew Peter)”
Nutleyone BLOG
“Steven Pacey adds to the jollity flitting about the stage as Peter, Felicity’s perkily flippant nephew, he’s especially hilarious when he develops a crush on the second movie star to turn up.”
“Her partner in crime is her nephew the Honourable Peter Ingleton who brings a gay lightness to the playful character. Steven Pacey as Peter is very amusing in his efforts to ensnare an unsuspecting Don Lucas, the very attractive yet dim actor in what turns out to be something of a love square.”
“Steven Pacey has a particular take on the role of the Countess’ nephew and carries it through with real charm.”

Steven Pacey “brings his acclaimed versatility to an unforgettable cast of characters in this sharp satire on the world of writing and publishing” in The Best Book in the World by Swedish comic novelist, Peter Stjernström.
Titus Jensen is waiting for his big break, but he’s middle aged, has a fondness for alcohol, and no one takes him seriously.
He makes ends meet by giving public readings from obscure books at festivals. He can’t help thinking there has to be more to life for an author of his quality…
Eddie X is cool, hip, a hit with the ladies, and loves being the centre of attention. A radical poet and regular on the festival circuit, he can’t help thinking there has to be more to life for a talented, good-looking man like himself…
One night the unlikely pair get drunk and hatch a plan. To get worldwide recognition they should write the best book in the world – a book so amazing that it will end up on all the bestseller lists in every category: thriller, self-help, cookery, business, dieting…
But there is only room for one such amazing book; Titus and Eddie X are not willing to share the limelight, so who will win the race?
