Critics’ Choice: Franco Milazzo's Best Theatre Of 2025
by Franco Milazzo - Dec 30, 2025
Looking back over 2025, it appears I sat in a dark room and wrote barely legible thoughts into a notebook on about 150-odd occasions. By the grace of God and the BroadwayWorld UK editor, I saw a real smörgåsbord of delights, everything from highly anticipated West End theatre to opera, dance, circus, cabaret, comedy and immersive theatre.

Interview: 'It's Been a Dream Project to Figure Out': Actor Stephen Kunken on KYOTO
by Kat Mokrynski - Feb 7, 2025
After a run at the RSC in Stratford-upon-Avon, Kyoto has arrived at @sohoplace on the West End. The play, written by Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson and directed by Stephen Daldry and Justin Martin, brings audiences into the world of the Kyoto Conference Centre on 11 December 1997, where nations are struggling to come to an agreement on climate change. In comes Don Pearlman, an American oil lobbyist who becomes the biggest obstacle to reaching such an agreement.

Review: KYOTO, @sohoplace
by Cindy Marcolina - Jan 17, 2025
After a stellar run in Stratford-upon-Avon, Joe Murphy and Joe Robertson’s RSC-fuelled project takes hold of London. Flashback to 1997, the United Nations are desperately trying to draft up an arrangement that might save the Earth. The deadlock on global warming hadn’t eased for years: each representative cautious about their involvement and an American lawyer deep in the pockets of his country’s oil tycoons doing anything to stall. Can the world come together to protect itself?
