The Play That Goes Wrong recoups after 12 weeks in West End

December 8, 2014 Last updated: April 26, 2020 9:29 pm By Neil Cheesman

The Play That Goes Wrong tickets for the Duchess Theatre.

The producers of THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG have announced that something has gone stunningly right. With their advertising campaign encouraging people to 'SAVE MONEY - DON'T COME' which evidently has not worked, the show that they capitalised in the West End for £250,000 and opened at the Duchess Theatre at the beginning of September, written by and starring unknown out of work actors, has already recouped all of its production costs and is now turning a weekly profit. It is an extraordinary … [Read more...]

Review of The Play That Goes Wrong at the Duchess Theatre

October 6, 2014 Last updated: April 26, 2020 9:30 pm By Haydn James

The Play That Goes Wrong

Never before has the title of a play been so apt, The Play That Goes Wrong, certainly lives up to its title and much more besides. Having already enjoyed two successful runs in the West End and sell-out success at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival, The Play That Goes Wrong has now set up home at the Duchess Theatre in the West End of London. Having picked up many awards and high accolades along the way, The Play That Goes Wrong seems to be going from strength to strength. The Cornley Polytechnic … [Read more...]

Review of The 39 Steps at The Criterion Theatre London

September 8, 2014 Last updated: May 4, 2019 4:07 pm By Neil Cheesman

The 39 Steps London West End

There are many different types of laughers in this world. There are the ungainly guffaws that resonate so much that seismometers in the vicinity record alarmingly high readings, panicking the British Geological Survey of the onset of a mega-earthquake. There are, of course, those that shriek - making one wonder if the person is in pain or amused (likely both). The most mysterious to me is the silent laugh. The head bobs up and down like the Churchill dog (or one of those bobble-head dolls), but … [Read more...]

Review of The Importance of Being Earnest Harold Pinter Theatre

July 17, 2014 Last updated: May 5, 2019 12:46 pm By Stephanie Caiger-Watson

The Importance of Being Earnest

When it comes to Oscar Wilde and The Importance of Being Earnest, I will confess I am a novice. I knew nothing of the plot, only that it was a comedy, by contrast my companion was a hardcore fan and could quote every line. For me this play revealed itself accordingly but for my comrade there were a few surprises. Director Lucy Bailey and Designer William Dudley have joined forces to create a reimagining of Oscar Wilde’s classic comedy. Taking artistic licence with the plot, Lucy Bailey’s … [Read more...]

Review of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui Duchess Theatre

September 25, 2013 Last updated: May 4, 2019 6:28 pm By Guest Reviewer

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui

The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui was written in 1941 by Bertolt Brecht, a German Marxist theatre practitioner, playwright and poet, while in exile in Finland. I was familiar with his style (known as ‘Epic Theatre’) through my university days. Though fascinated with his work during my studies, my initial thoughts were ‘how would a modern day West End audience relate to it?’ Although it’s not essential for the audience to know the details of Nazi Germany or Brecht’s practice methods, it was … [Read more...]
