  • "Julia Lambert is in her prime, the greatest actress in England. On stage she is a true professional, in full possession of her emotions. Off stage, however, she is bored with her husband, less disciplined about her behaviour. She is at first amused by the attentions of a shy but ambitious young fan, then thrilled by his persistence - and at last wildly but dangerously in love ... Although Maugham is most celebrated as a novelist and shortstory writer, it was as a playwright that he first knew success. Theatre is both a tribute to a world from which he had retired and a persuasive testimony to his enthusiasm for drama and the stage."

  • "Anglický spisovatel a dramatik vypráví v románě o šestačtyřicetileté herečce, manželce divadelního ředitele a matce šestnáctiletého syna, která využije svého hereckého umění k získání mladého muže, avšak přesvědčí se, že proti stáří je i výborný herecký talent bezmocný. Tato kniha z divadelního prostředí má i koncepci dobré divadelní hry, dramatické napětí a spád, brilantní dialogy, závorkové monology či poznámky na okraj hlavní postavy, a vyznívá doúsměvně vyrovnaného chápání neměnných zákonitostí života."
  • "Humour, finesse, mystère et ironie, on retrouve dans l'évocation de cette artiste de renom des années 1920, qui semble prendre un malin plaisir à confondre la vie avec une scène de théâtre, les multiples facettes du plus français des écrivains anglais."
  • "In Theatre, W. Somerset Maugham'the author of the classic novels Of Human Bondage and Up at the Villa'introduces us to Julia Lambert, a woman of breathtaking poise and talent whose looks have stood by her forty-six years. She is one of the greatest actresses England'so good, in fact, that perhaps she never stops acting. It seems that noting can ruffle her satin feathers, until a quiet stranger who challenges Julia's very sense of self. As a result, she will endure rejection for the first time, her capacity as a mother will be affronted, and her ability to put on whatever face she desired for her public will prove limited. In Theatre, Maugham subtly exposes the tensions and triumphs that occur when acting and reality blend together, and'for Julia'ultimately reverse. From the Trade Paperback edition."@en

  • "Portrait fouillé et sensible d'une comédienne anglaise qui régna sur le théâtre londonien de l'entre-deux-guerres. Mais peu importe l'identité de la star, le lecteur moderne reste touché par la violence de ses passions, sa ruse, son angoisse devant l'imminence de la vieillesse, sa passion pour son art, etc."
