| | The British Theatre Guide : Reviews - Camille by Alexandre Dumas fils, adapted by Neil Bartlett |
 | | Danielle Nardini's Marguerite is not the graceful, mysterious and erotic beauty one is led to expect; she's just a woman: a strong woman, febrile with the illness that would kill her, but a woman nonetheless, much like ourselves. |
 | | This is one of Bartlett's prime insights: in an age of surfaces, much like our own, Marguerite is successful because she markets herself well. |
 | | Bartlett's adaptation, unlike the pared-down, clear-cut version by Pam Gems (a product of a feminist decade), enfolds the issues in a rich texture, characteristically theatrical, but precludes any escapism into a mere emotional journey. |
