This is one of those productions where it helps to have some knowledge of Twelfth Night beforehand to fully appreciate the comedy in it. Members of the audience are supplied with wristbands before going into the auditorium, where the set quite convincingly provides a party environment at one of … [Read more...]

Sam. The Good Person at The Bunker Theatre | Review

Sooner or later they will give themselves away.” And, in his various cases, this has often proved to be the case. Conversations are a potentially … [Read more...]
