Review: SCOTTISH BALLET - MARY, QUEEN OF SCOTS, Sadler's Wells
by Louise Penn - Mar 6, 2026
Mary, Queen of Scots, is a remarkable piece of work, offering pointed comment on the place of women in the sixteenth-century court and on the mythology that casts Mary as a martyr. With striking visuals and compositions, it is an original and modern take on a familiar part of history.
Review: THE BATTLE, Birmingham Rep
by Laura Lott - Feb 18, 2026
Before Taylor Swift versus Charli XCX - but after The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones - came Blur versus Oasis. David Niven's debut comedy at Birmingham Rep takes us back to the summer of 1995, when temperatures and egos both soared and the nation was gripped by the chart battle between Oasis’ “Roll With It” and Blur's “Country House”.

Review: TWICE-BORN; SCOTTISH BALLET, Sadler’s Wells
by Matthew Paluch - Mar 7, 2025
Scottish Ballet return to Sadler’s Wells with a triple bill. One film, and two live pieces. All of the work is contemporary dance based, and acts as a vehicle for the company dancers to show off their well honed, dance capabilities. I wonder if a classical piece could have balanced things out and allowed the dancers to show their full range of talents?

Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater
by Mary Lincer - May 25, 2023

Both try to make a new language to express the Salem witch trials of 1692 because those events were too extraordinary for regular English or garden-variety ballet.
