« Among the cast, Jason Baughan gives a memorably sinister turn as the drunken Bedlam boss, while Rose Leslie proves genuinely poignant as the beautiful country girl driven mad by lost love. » (The Telegraph)
« Finty Williams is superb as a witty young widow, and Rose Leslie invests Leyshon’s regurgitation of Ophelia with the same ethereal dignity as when she impressed in last year’s BBC drama, New Town. Leslie seems effortlessly captivating, her other-worldliness well matched by James Lailey’s puckish Tom-O-Bedlam. » (The Spectator)
