Review: JEEVES AND WOOSTER IN PERFECT NONSENSE at Schoolhouse Theater


by Bruce Apar - December 11, 2025

Those dramatis personae (ha!) and more are animated to a fare thee well by only two – count ‘em – two actors, Mr. Guy and Mr. Lang, who bring to their poly-personality assignments proficient physical suppleness and chameleon-like chops. I started to keep track of how many characters they essay, and ...

Review: THE RED SHOES, Sadler's Wells Theatre


by Mica Blackwell - December 12, 2025

I couldn't help but get swept away by The Red Shoes. A rich blend of romantic storytelling and cinema, this production showcases the best Matthew Bourne has to offer as a love letter to ballet in its purest (and most haunting) form. If you're unable to find a production of The Nutcracker this holida...
