An ever-mutating virus has led to general uncertainty on and off the West End about the start-up of live performance.

by Louise Penn
- Dec 10, 2020
It is refreshing to see the Almeida come back with something a little different: a play with songs about loss and connection.

Emotion in the Hands of a Stellar Cast
by Isabella Perrone
- Oct 8, 2019
Set in Bob Dylan's hometown of Duluth, Minnesota in 1934, writer and director Conor McPherson's GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY is equal parts bleak and beautiful. The busy story centers on the Laine family and their guest house; stressed father and husband Nick (Donald Sage MacKay) is busy caring for his wife Elizabeth (Katie Brayben), whose dementia has progressed to the point where she's like a rowdy child with a sailor's mouth. His issues double with their children Gene (Colin Bates), an alcoholic, would-be writer and Marianne (Gloria Obianyo), their adopted Black daughter who's several months pregnant.
