The Life I Lead at Wyndham’s Theatre | Review

September 19, 2019 Last updated: October 8, 2019 1:21 am By Michael Stephenson

The Life I Lead - Miles Jupp - credit Piers Foley.

Lee Newby’s Magritte inspired set provides the ideal backdrop for James Kettle’s cleverly crafted play. The blue sky and cirrus whites are mirrored in the floor and furniture: the bowler hats are made for the character of David Tomlinson. This is the most recent collaboration between James Kettle and Miles Jupp - the two having worked together on Radio 4’s The News Quiz with James Kettle as the main writer, and Miles Jupp the presenter. Tomlinson is best known for playing the upper class … [Read more...]

Review of Parenthood at The Space

July 24, 2019 Last updated: July 26, 2019 1:49 pm By Michael Stephenson

Parenthood

The flyer says, ‘Not an Instagram version of parenting’ and Emily & Pete Moody’s musical is exactly that. On the hottest evening ever we needed some refreshing entertainment, and this we were given by the barrow load. From the laddish testosterone-fuelled bragging blokes and the naïve girls who definitely “won’t be having an epidural”, to the grandparents gleefully mocking their newly parented offspring, we are taken on a musical 'warts and all' journey through all the stages of … [Read more...]

Review of Pygmalion at the Tower Theatre

June 15, 2019 Last updated: June 15, 2019 5:20 pm By Michael Stephenson

Pygmalion cast - Tower Theatre

A warm welcome awaits you at this wonderful and comfortable theatre, upstairs in the octagonal tower, home of the Tower Theatre Company. Emilia Teglia’s fabulous production of Shaw’s most popular play sticks closely to the original. The Victorian humour is perfectly reflected, it retains all the play’s social themes and provides us with a very entertaining evening. Dickon Farmar is superb as a condescending, capricious and aloof Professor Higgins who has 'never met a man of good character' … [Read more...]

Review of Cuttings at The Hope Theatre

June 8, 2019 Last updated: June 9, 2019 11:43 am By Michael Stephenson

Ollie George Clarke's brilliant new play, Cuttings, explores the influence and power of PR and examines what can now pass as an apology. After winning an Olivier Award, YouTuber turned actor, Arthur Moses delivers a drunken, offensive, expletive-ridden acceptance speech on live radio. His publicists then need to spin into action, handling frantic calls and social media whilst deflecting responsibility for his actions. The play questions the intelligence of those who instantly react on … [Read more...]

Three Sisters at The Almeida Theatre | Review

April 19, 2019 Last updated: May 8, 2019 5:35 pm By Michael Stephenson

Three Sisters. Patsy Ferran, Pearl Chanda and Ria Zmitrowicz. Photo - Nadav Kander.

Three Sisters was written at a time when Chekhov was suffering from an illness which would soon claim his life. It is gloomy. The sisters are bored and trapped in their small town, and each dream of moving to Moscow. Annoyingly this is all they do and you find yourself screaming (inwardly) at them to do something about it. If a play is to have any sort of shelf-life it will need to be modernised from time to time. Some adaptations work and some don’t: Cordelia Lynn’s version manages to fall … [Read more...]
