"An ironic epic: a wry, intelligent and fascinating account of the way the New World was opened up by a routeless chancer from the Old."
Michael Billington, The Guardian
"Hooray and hallelujah: we have for the first time in almost a decade a major new play on the main stage of the Barbican. As its title would suggest, it subscribes to the theory of history as a series of misadventures turned lucky. Nelson's Columbus is neither the hero of the old history books nor the colonialist villain of modern political correctness."
Sheridan Morley, International Herald Tribune
