Review: NACHTLAND, Young Vic
by Cindy Marcolina
- Mar 7, 2024
Nachtland is a nervous, difficult play whose purpose is decisively blurry. It doesn’t revel as much as it should in the unknotting of its cerebral conundrum and doesn’t bask in the incredible satire it holds. The ideas it presents are topical, yet the piece is distracted. It tries to be quirky and different, but the result is tired and unfocused. It will make audiences think and talk about what they just saw, but not necessarily in a good way.
IS Productions' Inaugural Staging of Patrick Marber's CLOSER, or Four Brits Behaving Badly

Review: PANDEMONIUM, Soho Theatre, W1
by Aliya Al-Hassan

Armando Iannucci’s name carries great clout; as well as comedy and Dickens, shows such as The Thick Of It and Veep have secured his status as one of our great political satirists, yet until now he has never written anything for the stage. If anyone can skewer the madness of the last few years, it is surely Iannucci. Well, it seems not.
