Biting reviews as Knightley makes West End debut

KEIRA KNIGHTLEY has made her West End debut to mixed reviews.

Knightley may have been grateful for the support offered by celebrity friends after her performance as Jennifer in Moliere’s comedy The Misanthrope received biting criticism.

The actress, who has starred in movie blockbusters such as Atonement and Pirates of the Caribbean, should have been right at home playing an ambitious American film star.
