Reviewing Mudlark Theatre's 2007 production of Rooted in Sauce, Clara Murray wrote '... a shinier Kingswood Country, with the 70s sets, the satirical rapid-fire repartee, and the story of sweet and foolish Bentley who gets rooted by his mates, and his missus as power corrupts and the nice guy gets screwed ... a bloody good show for everyone except that poor bastard Bentley...'
