Round The Horne Revisited - The Venue, West End

Time Out - Kieron Quirke: "The audience favourite has to be Charles Armstrong’s announcer, whose stuffy, childish pride in playing such animated roles as “The Bell” and “Olde London Towne” is a delight to watch."

The Times - Ian Johns: "Charles Armstrong is touching as the announcer who seizes with enthusiasm such acting opportunities as Cinderella’s wand (swish, swish)."

Stop Messing About - Leicester Square Theatre

The Telegraph - Charles Spencer: "Charles Armstrong is delightful as the eager to please Douglas Smith"

Engaging Shaw - Vienna's English Theatre

Der Neue Merker: "Charles Armstrong is delightful as Sidney Webb who is only spared through his wife's genuine love for him"

Tenant of Wildfell Hall - Salisbury Playhouse

Devizes Gazette - Elvira Romans: "Charles Armstrong is supremely successful in the very different roles of the foppish Hargreve and Lawrence, the Hall’s stolid landlord. So much so, that I had to check my programme to make sure both parts were being played by the same actor."

Bless The Bride - King’s Head Theatre

Herald Tribune - Sheridan Morley: "Brilliant casting, not least Charles Armstrong as Thomas Trout, the doomed lover defeated by the French."

Love’s Labour’s Lost - Etcetera Theatre

Time Out - Charles Godfrey-Faussett: "Berowne is played with considerable panache by Charles Armstrong."

Sunday Times - John Peter: "Charles Armstrong and Simon Westwood give the best performances."

The Provoked Husband - New End Theatre, Hampstead

Evening Standard - Nick Curtis: "Most successful is the painstaking courtship of sober Lady Grace by the waggish but respectable Mr Manly. Alison Reid and Charles Armstrong play this constant couple - he a velvety, plausible young blade whose acid asides steer just the right side of smugness."

The Provoked Wife - New End Theatre, Hampstead

The Times - Jeremy Kingston: "As Heartfree, Charles Armstrong brings a dry, throw-away delivery and an excellent judgment of the wit in his lines. His performance charges the character with life."

Evening Standard - Michael Arditti: "Two outstanding performances from actors new to me, Charles Armstrong and Carol Holt. Mr Armstrong is charming and incisive, with a delightfully dry delivery and perfectly pitched put-downs. His attempt to stride manfully from a room when discovered in a closet is deliciously droll. Star-spotters watch out for Charles Armstrong."

Time Out: "Charles Armstrong and Caroline Lintott are irresistible as the reluctant lovers of the sub-plot."

Ham And High - Sarah Ebner: "A marvellous performance here from Charles Armstrong."

Two Gentlemen of Verona - The Link Theatre

What’s On - Gerard Gardiner: "Charles Armstrong must play Hamlet."

The Stage - Katherine Way: "Charles Armstrong goes all the way from touching boyish enthusiasm to existential despair and back with a bit of senile knight-errantry thrown in. An unexpected delight."

The White Devil - Pentameters Theatre

Ham And High - Amanda Blinkhorn: "Camillo (Charles Armstrong) Vittoria’s doomed cuckolded first husband, is particularly effective as a chain-smoking dippy academic in beige cords and cardy."
