Recognition
Of Smee's 1992 performance in Thirteenth Night, Sabine Durrant of The Independent wrote "Anthony Smee, one part David Owen to two parts Edward Fox – delivers some masterfully refined paranoia".
Of Smee's 2010 role as Somerset Maugham in 'Mr Maugham at Home' at The New End Theatre, The Times describe his performance as superb. Clive Davies full review at:-http://entertainment.timesonline.co.uk/tol/arts_and_entertainment/stage/theatre/article7111807.ece
