February 17, 2014

Gary Naylor enjoys a conversation with John Travolta that could have delivered more, but probably shouldn't have - an evening for fans, not investigative journalists.

BWW Reviews: HMS PINAFORE, Hackney Empire, February 15 2014

February 16, 2014

Gary Naylor finds that this bulked up, buffed up HMS Pinafore, currently voyaging around the country, is even more fun than when it launched from the Union Theatre last Autumn.

BWW Reviews: FINIAN'S RAINBOW, Union Theatre, February 14 2014

February 16, 2014

BWW Reviews: 1984, Almeida Theatre, February 13 2014

February 14, 2014

'Orwellian' is a word understood by millions of people who have never read George Orwell's books; 'Big Brother' and 'Room 101' are television shows that feel like they have been around since 1984; and screens fill our homes which we use to 'interact'.

BWW Reviews: THE FINAL REVELATION OF SHERLOCK HOLMES, Pleasance Theatre, February 12 2014

February 13, 2014

Tim Norton revisits the gift that keeps on giving, Sherlock Holmes, to imagine his last case - he finds it's typically tricky, but sometimes funny too.

BWW Reviews: THE PLAY THAT GOES WRONG, Churchill Theatre Bromley, February 3 2014

February 4, 2014

Gary Naylor sees one of his favourite plays from last year now delivered bigger, brighter and just as bungled, as the Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society starts its UK tour.

BWW Reviews: JOAN COLLINS: ONE NIGHT WITH JOAN, Leicester Square Theatre, February 2 2014

February 3, 2014

It's back to the 80s (and the 50s, 60s, 70s, 90s and 00s) with a legend of the screen telling tales about some of the most famous names in entertainment.

BWW Reviews: BEAR, Old Red Lion Theatre, January 31 2014

February 1, 2014

Through the haze of fatigue, parents can only just recall the early days of child-rearing.

BWW Reviews: SHANG-A-LANG, King's Head Theatre, January 24 2014

January 25, 2014

Just before she hit it big (Dancin' Queen big) with Mamma Mia! (the Rocky Horror Show de nos jours), Catherine Johnson wrote Shang-a-Lang (revived at the King's Head Theatre until 15 February).

BWW Reviews: THE UGLY SISTERS, Soho Theatre, January 22 2014

January 23, 2014

Pantomime, even fairy tales, are not known for their well-rounded characters - and the cookie-cutter bad girls, The Ugly Sisters from Cinderella, are no exceptions.

BWW Reviews: THE WORLD GOES ROUND - THE SONGS OF KANDER AND EBB, Union Theatre, January 17 2014

January 18, 2014

There are - and you're going to have to believe me on this one - people who don't like musical theatre.

BWW Reviews: OTHELLO, Riverside Studios, January 16 2014

January 18, 2014

Though not among Shakespeare's more gory tragedies (competition is pretty fierce after all), Othello is surely his most brutal, a slow motion car crash, in which love and trust go up against cynicism and venality - and lose.

BWW Reviews: DON QUIJOTE, Camden People's Theatre, January 7 2014

January 16, 2014

It is (natch) quixotic to stage a version of the mighty chronicle of the unhinged Spanish knight in a North London basement, but what's life (especially theatre) for if not such dreams?

2014 Theatre Preview: Gary Naylor's Picks

January 4, 2014
