Review: AFGHANISTAN IS NOT FUNNY, Arcola Theatre
A monologue that comes alive with photographs of the carnage of war but never quite settles its underlying moral ambiguity
Gary Naylor - Page 15
Review: BELL, BOOK AND CANDLE, Tabard Theatre
Lovely to look at, funny and clever, a perfect tonic for these miserable days full of bills and empty shelves
Review: WINDFALL, Southwark Playhouse
London transfer of New York hit comedy gathers a few laughs, but feels out of step with the times
Review: ONE WHO WANTS TO CROSS, Finborough Theatre
A powerful, hour-long work that uses repetition, poetry and disorientation to take us inside the minds of those who risk everything to escape their homeland.
Review: THE RAILWAY CHILDREN - A MUSICAL, The Electric Theatre, Guildford
Delightful new musical (based on the much loved novel and film) that deserves a wider audience than its short run affords
Review: PICASSO, The Playground Theatre
Peter Tate gives us a bullish Picasso, with his women projected on video, but they do need more of a voice to balance the narrative
Review: HAVE I NONE, Golden Goose Theatre
Dystopian play, set 54 years in the future, raises questions about the direction of consumerism today
Review: THE ELEPHANT SONG, Park Theatre
Nicolas Billon's Canadian play has dated somewhat, but still engages its audience on its UK premiere
Review: FAGIN'S LAST HOUR, White Bear Theatre
James Hyland is Dicken's Fagin, decrepit and distraught, in his cell on the way to the gallows
Review: LEAST LIKE THE OTHER, SEARCHING FOR ROSEMARY KENNEDY, Royal Opera House, Linbury Theatre
An extraordinary, powerful, moving multimedia work that gives voice to Rosemary Kennedy, denied it for over 60 years.
2022 Year in Review: Gary Naylor's Best of 2022
Some highlights of the last year and some hopes for an uncertain future
Review: RUMPELSTILTSKIN, Park Theatre
Rumpelstiltskin as you've never seen (nor heard) it before
Review: NEWSIES, Troubadour Wembley Park Theatre
The foundations of musical theatre are sacrificed for spectacle and energetic enthusiasm in a venue with acoustics that fail to do justice to the quality of the singing and musicianship
Review: ALICE IN WONDERLAND, Brixton House Theatre
As fine a Christmas show as you'll see in a beautiful venue and at a price that won't blow the budget (well, not too much)
Review: JACK! PLAYING IS BELIEVING..., Chickenshed Theatre
Another triumphant vindication of a uniquely thoroughgoing philosophy at Chickenshed
Review: MAKE MINE A DOUBLE - TUNNELS and PRESS, Park Theatre
A dystopian past and dystopian future form the backdrop to two plays that never quite escape their specificities and, consequently, remain a little distant
Review: IT'S A WONDERFUL LIFE, London Coliseum
Opera based on much loved 1946 film offers a vision of a town without music, without joy, without love and, in doing so, compels us to value what we have - a moral shared by everyone in the house, but not outside it.
Review: ROALD DAHL'S MATILDA THE MUSICAL, UK cinemas
Super fun for 7 year-olds to 77 year-olds with all that stage magic up there on the screen
Review: A SHERLOCK CAROL, Marylebone Theatre
Super fun for Christmas with two of the world's most loved Victorian characters together at last
Review: DINNER WITH GROUCHO, Arcola Theatre
Frank McGuinness's new play puts two giants of 20th century culture together but fails to ignite a spark between them
