Chekhov’s First Play | Battersea Arts Centre | Review

November 3, 2018 Last updated: October 7, 2019 8:56 pm By Rachael Sparkes

Chekhov's First Play, Dead Centre, Credit Adam Trigg

Chekhov’s First Play presented by Dead Centre got off to a dangerous start with the somewhat hubristic claim in the programme that they aim to improve on Chekhov by succeeding in making a show ‘about everything and the totality of living’, where Chekhov had distinctly failed. Even more dangerous was the attempt to appeal to audience members who were drawn to this show by their love of Chekhov. But the gamble completely and wholeheartedly paid off. In the way of good satire, this was a piece … [Read more...]

Soldier On at The Other Palace Theatre, London | Review

November 1, 2018 Last updated: November 1, 2018 4:51 pm By Rachael Sparkes

Soldier On

Soldier On, a daring piece of theatre performed by The Soldiers' Arts Academy adopts a fairly well used theatrical trope: it’s a meta-theatrical play about making a play - nothing we haven’t seen before, right? However, it is not the basic concept that makes this piece new and ground-breaking, it’s the people making it. Soldier On weaves together true stories collected by writer Jonathan Lewis over a five year period of working with British servicemen and women. What is delightful is that it … [Read more...]

Review of Showtime from the Frontline

April 11, 2018 Last updated: April 9, 2021 7:55 pm By Rachael Sparkes

MARK THOMAS - credit Lesley Martin

In Showtime from the Frontline, Mark Thomas returns with his trademark politically motivated, immaculately conceived, comedic style and his riskiest and bravest show to date. As the show opens with Thomas’s characteristic conversational tone, the audience expects another well-crafted one-man show, a monologue detailing his latest anti-authoritarian high-jinks, until he welcomes to the stage his partners in crime and co-stars. This is a first for Thomas. Faisal Abu Alhayjaa and Alaa Shedhada … [Read more...]

March 16, 2018 Last updated: May 9, 2019 12:13 am By Rachael Sparkes

MADHOUSE RE-EXIT ; Access All Areas; Directed by Nick Llewellyn ; Set Design by Joanna Scotcher ; Lighting Design by Katherine Graham ; Costume Design by Carley Hague ; Shoreditch Town Hall, London, UK ; 12 March 2018 ; Credit and Copyright Helen Murray

Madhouse re:exit is an immersive theatre experience set in the bowels of ‘Paradise Fields’ a notionally luxury social care facility. Luxury it is not. Madhouse uses true accounts from surviving patients from St Lawrence’s Hospital in Surrey, a ‘madhouse’ of the old kind, and places them behind the scenes in Paradise Fields. The audience, led by the mysterious ‘Patient 36’, a disabled everyman figure, go on an alternative tour of modern social care. Access all areas mean to shake up our … [Read more...]
