Sophie Okonedo adds flavour to a strong but otherwise vanilla production of Euripides' tragedy.
Feature: Best Theatre of 2022 For Austria & Germany
by Martin Ganeider
- Dec 27, 2022
Let's call it a year. Recovering from the pandemic episode, home alone, only connected via Video Calls, (more or less) entertained by living room concerts instead of spending a night out at the theatre, we got the opportunity to enjoy various shows over Austria and Germany. We returned to the theatre, enjoying the atmosphere, the smell, and everything a night out offers.
2022 Year in Review: Cindy Marcolina's Best of 2022
by Cindy Marcolina
- Dec 21, 2022
After two years of absolute doom and uncertainty, 2022 began with a sprinkle of glimmer on the horizon. Masked up and cautious, we came back to theatres properly. Admittedly and unfortunately, I found the return underwhelming and gave very few glowing 5-star reviews. I still loved a good number of productions, but it’s a far cry from struggling to whittle it down to a Top 10. Nonetheless, it was an exciting year.

Presented in the round with the inclusion of closed-captioning at every performance and a few BSL-signing characters, it’s probably the most accessible, most gender-fluid show currently running in London.

The foundations of musical theatre are sacrificed for spectacle and energetic enthusiasm in a venue with acoustics that fail to do justice to the quality of the singing and musicianship
Review: SLEEPING BEAUTY, Sadler's Wells

Sir Matthew Bourne’s Sleeping Beauty debuted in 2012 to mark the twenty-fifth anniversary of Bourne’s New Adventures company. Ten years on, the celebratory production is now in its own turn being celebrated.
Review: HEX, National Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan
- Dec 7, 2022
Poor Hex. Scuppered by Covid last year before it even got to press night and dogged by rumours of nepotism, this re-working of the fairytale Sleeping Beauty had a lot to overcome. It could have been the festive highlight at the National Theatre, but is compromised by a meandering story and less-than-captivating songs.
Review Roundup: What Did the Critics Think of James Graham's BEST OF ENEMIES?
by Aliya Al-Hassan

James Graham's Best Of Enemies is now open at the Noel Coward Theatre, having transferred from the Young Vic. The play is set in 1968 and follows the fight for the American Presidency between the cunningly conservative William F. Buckley Jr., and the iconoclastic liberal Gore Vidal, played by David Harewood and Zachary Quinto.
The play received rave reviews at The Young Vic, but what did the critics think of the revival?
Review: BEST OF ENEMIES, Noël Coward Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina
- Nov 29, 2022
It's an exceptional addition to a Theatreland that's generally lacking in political engagement, especially during the Christmas period. It's intense, brainy, and absolutely delectable. The latest West End must-see.
