What the press say about Fanny Hill
“… a hugely enjoyable bawdy romp . It’s deliciously naughty and well worth staying up for…!
Jane-Ann Purdy, The Scotsman
“… Everchild’s adaptation for the stage catches the essential lusty humour and irreverence of John Cleland’s original book …
… Actress Philippa Hammond is instantly likeable as the much-sought-after Fanny, and brings an unexpected grace and vulnerability to the character…
… the intelligent script explores the base reality behind the veneer of genteel respectability in an enchanting and highly entertaining way…
… a scorcher of a show ..”
