1. West Side Story, Royal Exchange Theatre, Manchester “Gangs, fighting in the streets, tensions relating to race and immigration, crimes against the person committed using knives: it’s indicative of some elements of urban Britain today, making this retelling of the Romeo and Juliet story all the more relevant.” and West Side Story, Curve Theatre, … [Read more...]

Superstar by Nicola Wren at The Little at Southwark Playhouse
Superstar: hot play or cold gig? Actually a hot gig about Coldplay. Well a bit about Coldplay, anyway, but much more about what it’s like to be the runt in a family of five siblings, what it’s like to be a panto bunny (aged 8), what it’s like to be Anne Frank and in love with Shippy, and what it’s like to be a bespectacled Toad who spots through her squint from the … [Read more...]

I LOVED this play! It is very funny, very poignant - you quickly feel as if Julie Hesmondhalgh is performing just for you, so involving is the story she tells, aided by the intimate space of the theatre.

Some stories cannot be told in a single sitting. Think Harry Potter. The last book was made into two films and the ‘The Cursed Child’ is two plays. The reason I’m mentioning this is because after seeing My Brilliant Friend Parts 1 and 2, at the National Theatre, it struck me that making one book into two plays is hard enough but April De Angelis must have really had … [Read more...]
Q&A with Nari Blair-Mangat from the cast of Cyrano De Bergerac
James McAvoy returns to the West End in an inventive new adaptation of Edmond Rostand’s masterwork by Martin Crimp, with direction by Jamie Lloyd. Fierce with a pen and notorious in combat, Cyrano almost has it all - if only he could win the heart of his true love. There’s just one big problem: he has a nose as huge as his heart. Will a society engulfed by … [Read more...]
