Review: CREATURE, Colab
Yes, yes: ask the average person about Frankenstein and they will speak at length about the book and the films but, if it wasn't for the theatrical adaptations, Mary Shelley's gothic classic would arguably just be collecting dust in your local library.
Review: THE COMEDY ABOUT SPIES, Adelphi Theatre
Set in 1961, the same year that a balding former milkman and coffin-polisher from Edinburgh was interviewed for the role of James Bond, The Comedy About Spies sees two pairs of agents (one American, one Russian) face off in London’s Piccadilly Hotel as they hunt for the mysterious “Project Midni
Review: NOW YOU SEE ME LIVE, London Coliseum
Packed to the brim with illusions and disillusionment, it quickly becomes clear that Now You See Me Live is only a magic show in one sense of the word.
Review: THE CAR MAN, Sadler's Wells
Luca swaggers into Harmony (population 375, and dropping) looking less like a drifter than an escapee from a protein powder advert, and Matthew Bourne's dance-noir wastes no time weaponising that effect.

Review: THE LADYBOYS OF BANGKOK: FULL MOON, Sabai Pavilion
Twenty-eight years ago, The Ladyboys of Bangkok made a brief appearance at what was then the Queen's Theatre on Shaftesbury Avenue (now the Sondheim, which has committed itself to Les Misérables with a fervour that makes Swifties look fickle).
Review: I PURITANI, Royal Ballet And Opera
Thirty-four years is a long time to leave an opera in the attic, and I puritani has spent most of that period gathering dust for good reason.
