The Wipers Times at The Arts Theatre – Review

March 28, 2017 Last updated: May 7, 2018 3:05 pm By Peter Yates

LtoR James Dutton and George Kemp. The Wipers Times

The First World War news-sheet/magazine “The Wipers Times” was a kind of “Private Eye” for the trench wallah, a prequel-Viz for the Kitchener Kids, a “Punch” for Tommy Atkins but, as is suggested in the text of this show, a “Punch” that is actually funny. The “Private Eye” analogy is apposite, of course, as the play The Wipers Times is co-written by long-time editor of that august organ, Ian Hislop, and its evergreen, award-winning cartoonist, Nick Newman. Hislop discovered the … [Read more...]

Dirty Great Love Story at the Arts Theatre – Review

January 26, 2017 Last updated: June 27, 2019 9:17 pm By Chris Omaweng

Dirty Great Love Story

It’s a sad but necessary state of affairs when a show deliberately begins with a mobile phone going off, and then the incoming call being taken, in order to demonstrate how irritating it is when that happens when a performance is in progress. It seemed to work: this was a rare occasion when I sat through a show from start to finish completely undisturbed. Undoubtedly, the first minute of Dirty Great Love Story is better, and substantially more imaginative, than the usual dreary warning just … [Read more...]

Cast announced for Dirty Great Love Story at the Arts Theatre

December 12, 2016 Last updated: May 13, 2018 5:57 pm By Admin

Dirty Great Love Story

Felix Scott (The Angry Brigade, Paines Plough; The Archers, BBC Radio 4; Inception) and Ayesha Antoine (Red Velvet, Garrick Theatre; Holby City; Grange Hill) have been cast in the highly acclaimed, Fringe First Award-winning Dirty Great Love Story which will be making its anticipated West End debut at the Arts Theatre in 2017. Two hopeful, hapless romantics get drunk, get it on and then get the hell away from each other. In her eyes, he’s a mistake. A mistake who keeps turning up at parties. … [Read more...]

Review of Follow The Faun at the Arts Theatre London

November 4, 2016 Last updated: May 8, 2019 6:46 pm By Marian Kennedy

Follow The Faun

It’s great fun is this immersive dance show of which there are not enough about. This one won Spirit of the Festival Award at The Vaults Festival 2015 and has been prancing around the world ever since. It’s for all ages, as long as you like to move. There’s no need to be able to follow complex choreography, you just have to have a will to lose your inhibitions among a group of people doing exactly the same. There’s some spritely naughtiness about some of the gestures you’re asked to perform … [Read more...]

Apocalypse Cruise Ship Love Affair at Above The Arts Theatre

October 26, 2016 Last updated: June 27, 2019 10:29 pm By Terry Eastham

Apocalypse Cruise Ship Love Affair

Cruising, and by that I mean getting into some sort of boat and traveling aimlessly on the high seas, has become a very popular pastime, in fact over 21 million people - 60% of them American - go on a cruise every year. A quick Google (other search engines are available) search reveals that there are cruises designed for every type of person. For example, there is Blues Cruise, which has just docked in Soho’s Above the Arts Theatre, which seems to cater for those that would like an Apocalypse … [Read more...]

Review of Dr Faustus at Above the Arts Theatre

October 18, 2016 Last updated: May 7, 2018 3:07 pm By Emma Slater

Dr Faustus

Christopher Marlowe’s Dr Faustus deals with greed, blind ambition, and the pursuit of ultimate power through knowledge, whatever the cost. Dr Faustus, a scholar, grows dissatisfied with traditional learning, so seeks new knowledge through black magic. Faustus summons Mephistopheles, servant to the Devil, and makes a pact with him: Mephistopheles will do Faustus' bidding for for 24 years, after which time, the devil gets Faustus' soul. With multiple incarnations of the play vying for audiences … [Read more...]
