“Bill Clinton Hercules is a swan song to the former President and an intelligent meditation on the decay of modern politics. It’s a powerful and thought-provoking play that should not be missed.”

“Mariner’s script lifts things beyond dull political biography to a sort of self-deprecating poetry, replete with deadly one-liners. . . this is the one-time Slick Willy as born-again radical, a wannabe hero who only ever wanted to be one of the good guys.”

Neil Cooper, The Herald (Edinburgh)
