The Time Traveller’s Wife review: What the critics think<\/h2>\n

“David Hunter and Joanna Woodward make a clean-cut, fine-voiced central pairing, but they\u2019re not really given space to fully explore the emotional impact of being trapped in a marriage where nothing is certain, not even being in the same time period for their wedding day.” \u2014 Alice Saville, The Independent<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“This romance \u2014 scripted by that accomplished American playwright Lauren Gunderson \u2014 leaps back and forth through different eras, making nonsense of conventional chronology.” \u2014 Clive Davis, The Times<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“Dazzling staging of an unresolved narrative. It\u2019s not quite enough, but it certainly passes the time.” \u2014 Sarah Crompton, What’s On Stage<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“Joss Stone and Dave Stewart\u2019s strangely forgettable score does little to lift this musical but there are some wonderful set pieces\u201d \u2014 Arifa Akbar, The Guardian<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n

“Joss Stone and Dave Stewart\u2019s musical adaptation of the hit time-travel novel is breezy, undemanding fun. \u2018The Time Traveller\u2019s Wife\u2019 could be cleverer, more profound, with better songs and a more exciting story.” \u2014 Andrzej Lukowski, TimeOut<\/a><\/p>\n<\/p>\n
