Jonathan Hyde as Mr Darling/Captain Hook

"By far the best performance comes from Jonathan Hyde. His Captain Hook, whimpering in fear of the crocodile, is a memorably self-pitying, mother-fixated Old Etonian bully, while his Mr Darling is clearly yet another little boy who wouldn't grow up." -- Charles Spencer, The Telegraph

"But, of course, Jonathan Hyde just dominated the round, lively stage as a particularly evil, panic-stricken Captain Hook. Playing comic villains always needs a sure touch and Jonathan Hyde never missed a beat." -- Paul Callan, Sunday Express

This Peter Pan Really Flies

"The acting was superb: Jonathan Hyde’s portrayal of Mr Darling/ Captain Hook was fantastic. I loved the different layers of his characters and both characters had great depth. What an incredible role to play and Mr Hyde did a great job making it his own."--The Broadway Critic

"Hyde comes into his own as Captain Hook."--Variety

"Jonathan Hyde conveys a piratical demeanour as Hook and deftly changes to the fuddy-duddy Mr Darling with grace and ease."--Kedar K Adour

"Captain Hook played by Jonathan Hyde is a perfect villain."--East Bay Arts and Culture Review

"Jonathan Hyde transmutes brightly from the tantrum prone Mr Darling to a diabolically preening Hook."--San Francisco Chrnonicle
