26 Apr 1920 Nurse Benson Professional
Read Narrative
‘Some plays are a tonic, and “Nurse Benson” is one of them. It is a charming play, cleverly written, with humour and tenderness blended in delightful relation to each other. The well-thought out and amusing little plot is too good to tamper with by attempting to summarise it. The company in whose hands it safely rests at the Theatre this week deserve a full house every night, for they make the most of it, and leave a very pleasant memory when the curtain has fallen'. Bedfordshire Times and Independent, 30 April 1920.
