By stark contrast, Fuddy Meers brings us a major new American talent, though I wish the writer, David Lindsay-Abaire could have decided whether he was writing a heart-breaking tragi-comedy about amnesia or a manic farce. So in 90 short minutes we get both, often hopelessly jumbled. True, amnesia is a dodgy subject, especially for those of us getting a little absent-minded.
Sheridan Morley, Daily Express
The director, Angus Jackson, seems unable to decide whether we are meant to care about these dysfunctional characters, or regard them merely as comic cartoons, so he tries to have it both ways and falls flat on his face.
Charles Spenser, The Daily Telegraph
