The Heretic makes most plays look underwritten. ndash;Observer delicioushellip; Above all; though; it is Beanrsquo;s writing that scintillates. Pulsing with shrewd humour; itrsquo;s risqueacute; and linguistically rich. There are some blissfully surreal toucheshellip; The Heretic is clever; imaginative and entertaining theatre. 4 stars ndash; Evening Standard
