Review: SOUTH PACIFIC, Sadler's Wells
The show is based on the Pulitzer Prize-winning book Tales of the South Pacific and made its Broadway debut in 1949; it is surprisingly progressive, despite its age, making it a relatively unproblematic revival.
Review: HORRIBLE HISTORIES - TERRIBLE TUDORS, Garrick Theatre

BWW Review: LITTLE WIMMIN, Queen Elizabeth Hall

BWW Review: THE COLLABORATION, Young Vic
