Review - Desperately Seeking The Exit, Leicester Square Theatre
We have observed before how carefully one must choose the title of one’s show lest critics, sub-editors or even pesky bloggers get their hands on it and turn it on its head an here is Peter Michael Marino doing it to himself, sort of, with a bit of help
Review - The Weir, Donmar Warehouse
Another week, another theatrical first.* Well, a first for us. Though sadly what led to this first is becoming a norm.
Review - Othello National Theatre
We are not in the habit of issuing public service announcements but... Check your tickets.
Review - Untold Stories, Duchess Theatre
There were uncomfortable shards of recognition at Alan Bennett‘s autobiographical Untold Stories.
Review - Children of the Sun, National Theatre
Thrilling!Now here’s a first and a SPOILER ALERT but as this was a first preview we cannnot guarantee it will happen again.* Pity.
Review - The Low Road, Royal Court
The Whingers have been on something a journey with Bruce Norris plays at the Royal Court. The Pain and the Itch and The Low Road top and tail Dominic Cooke's tenure at the Court.
Review - Trelawny of the Wells, Donmar
Bit late in the day with this one and frankly we weren't going to bother writing it up as it closes on Saturday. But we'll forget that we saw it otherwise.
Review - Once, Phoenix Theatre
“It’s got an on-stage bar where you can buy your drinks during the interval!”Phil knew how to persuade Andrew to take in Once. That’s all it took.
Review - The Winslow Boy, Old Vic
"Is it the one about the postal order?" queried Andrew, who, like Phil, often confuses Terrence Rattigan's postal order play The Winslow Boy with his celebration-of-gravy play The Browning Version.
