Simon Paisley Day has wowed critics in the latest hit production of the Joe Orton Classic ?Entertaining Mr Sloane?. Forty-five years it was first premiered in London and it seems alive today as it was back then. Once critic has classed it funnier than Oscar Wilde?s ?The Importance of Being Earnest?. Headed by Imelda Staunton, Simon Paisley Day backs her up as her rather limp and repressed brother Ed play by Simon. As we chatted between rehearsals he began to retrace the journey for him between the ?page to stage???
Nicholas de Jongh the national theatre critic has penned to great success Plague over England?. It's a look at a life, the law, celebrity at a time when homosexuality, the role of a well known figure, public morals were being challenged from all sides.
Hello from London,
Cold and dark though it is - theatre here and especially musicals and serious drama are enjoying a surge of popularity. This has been put down to the sheer RANGE of shows on offer. Take where i am now at the Hampstead Theatre. Mike Leigh and David Hare are favourites here and tonights show is no exception at this cutting edge building and stage.

I never like comparisons but this show may very will be the next '39 Steps' a potential award winning mega hit that starts off from a (not so) small theatre. In this case it's the Lyric Theatre in south London and the show is a farce called ‘Spyski'. It's produced and performed by Peepolykus (pronounced people-like-us) who have been quite rightly lauded as one of - it not THE UK's most exciting touring theatre companies around. They really go to town with their latest hit packing them in at the Lyric Theatre Hammersmith in rainy London.
