TAO Dance Theater at Sadler’s Wells | Review

May 27, 2019 Last updated: May 27, 2019 9:32 pm By Thomas Froy

Tao Dance Theater - 4 & 9 - 9-10 (c) Fan Xi

Tao Dance 4+9 starts with the audience in the dark. And that’s more or less how it finishes, too. If you’re the kind of person who doesn’t have any desire to know what’s going on for about an hour, while a group of four, and then nine (hence the title) dancers mosh and bounce around […]

Bromley Bedlam Bethlehem at the Old Red Lion Theatre

Theatre doesn’t have to be enjoyable. I get that. Bromley Bedlam Bethlehem certainly isn’t a comfortable night at the theatre. I was left wondering exactly what I’d subjected myself to. Was it provocative theatre, or was it just uncomfortable? The premise of Rachel Tookey’s hard-hitting play is the idea that mental health issues, specifically suicide, ‘run […]

Michele Sinisi in Richard III at Draper Hall | Review

May 6, 2019 Last updated: May 8, 2019 5:22 pm By Thomas Froy

Is it winter now? Now, is it winter? How soon and wintery is now? Such rambling, semi-incomprehensible, apparently ironic reiteration and reinterpretation laid the tone of the entire 45 minutes of Michele Sinisi’s performance of Richard III. The programme tells us that Sinisi has made the “brave” decision to perform only the first monologue of […]

Avalanche: A Love Story at the Barbican Theatre | Review

May 3, 2019 Last updated: May 8, 2019 5:27 pm By Thomas Froy

Avalanche: A Love Story Maxine Peake, photo credit: ©The Other Richard

Maxine Peake’s one-woman show is something of a plodding, steady snow drift, rather than an avalanche. She tells the story of Julia Leigh’s memoir (the play is adapted by Anna Louise-Starks from a book of the same name) tracking the turbulent and traumatic experience of trying for pregnancy at the latter end of fertility. She […]

Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake at New Wimbledon Theatre | Review

April 17, 2019 Last updated: August 30, 2019 12:50 pm By Thomas Froy

Matthew Bourne’s Swan Lake, now nearly 25 years old, is as sharp, sexy and silly as ever. Though audiences might be somewhat less shocked than when this show, now a Christmas treat for families, opened, it doesn’t seem to have lost any of its edge, or indeed, darkness. Despite its Christmas associations and deeply romantic […]
