Reviews of 7 Spies at the Casino Edinburgh 2007

‘Like Niven, Lavers is a charming storyteller, who occasionally slips into other characters to weave this hour-long monologue. Lavers is witty, easy to watch and tells a fascinating, well researched tale.........The hour felt like it had slipped by far too quickly..'

‘7 Spies at the Casino makes for an interesting evening's entertainment and is well-presented..……….. it could easily embark on a small scale theatre tour.'

THE STAGE

‘A well chosen set and sympathetic lighting evoke the cool chic of the swinging 60s well …………… in a piece that ably, amiably and honestly resurrects one of Hollywood 's legendary raconteurs.'

‘Lavers, looks very similar to my recollection of Niven, and he remains in character as the super cool suave Englishman and his story is over far too soon for me.' ......

‘Beyond the pencil moustache and evening dress, however, he presents far more than a caricature of Niven, taking us into the actor's life off set and skillfully shedding just enough light and emotion on personal tragedies amid the name-dropping.'

Christopher Barbour

‘David Niven stands before us in all his suave, sophisticated glory to tell us the story behind the car crash that was the 1967 version of Casino Royale. Paul Lavers is an excellent Niven with just the right sort of storytelling style. That Lavers …….allows his Niven to share some painful personal memories before returning to the safe world of cinematic shallowness is a credit to the actor's ease of technique.'
