by Debbie Gilpin
- Mar 1, 2024
“Sometimes the Devil doth preach.” In a winter season that has arguably gone too light on Shakespeare, it is nonetheless fitting that the final production is a brand new version of John Webster’s bloody tragedy. Dominic Dromgoole’s production opened the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse ten years ago, and now Rachel Bagshaw is on board to direct it on its return to the replica Jacobean theatre.

Review: THE HUMAN BODY, Donmar Warehouse
by Cindy Marcolina
- Feb 28, 2024
The departing artistic director of the Donmar Warehouse is going out in a blaze of glory. A starry cast leads Lucy Kirkwood’s latest play, a period piece that, curiously, ties in perfectly with Rufus Norris’ current venture south of the river, Nye. The further end of the 40s has Shropshire shackled by austerity. An engaged member of the Labour party, socialist GP Iris is lobbying in support of Nye Bevan’s radical fight to deliver free healthcare to Britain. Married to an ex-Navy medic turned full-time GP and mother to a young daughter who couldn’t be more different from her, she muddles her family life with her political activity. Everything changes when she meets Hollywood hotshot George Blythe.

Review: HADESTOWN, Lyric Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina

Created with director Rachel Chavkin, it’s a story of tragic love and politics, defeat and defiance. An epic anthem for the lovers and the runaways. The actors mostly new to Hadestown, Hades’ underground factory, with only Gloria Onitiri returning as Persephone (rather than a Fate) and Beth Hinton-Lever in the ensemble.

Review: MACBETH, Dock X
by Kat Mokrynski
- Feb 16, 2024
'Entering Dock X for Macbeth, you are greeted by a large, dark space filled with audience members, jazz music playing as you wait for the theatre to open. Suddenly, a siren begins to wail. This is the call to enter the theatre and audience members are greeted by scenes of destruction and soldiers staring with empty eyes at the chaos around them.'
Review: THE PICTURE OF DORIAN GRAY, Theatre Royal Haymarket
by Aliya Al-Hassan
- Feb 15, 2024
I'll admit that I have never dropped acid, but I can imagine that watching Kip Williams' adaptation of The Picture of Dorian Gray must come close to that experience. Part morality tale, part technical extravaganza, part fall down the rabbit hole, this is a theatrical evening that will remain long in the memory.
