Review: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Richmond Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 9, 2026

Shirley Jackson’s 1959 gothic novel skyrocketed back to recognition in 2018 when it inspired Mike Flanagan’s Netflix sensation of the same name. It’s time for theatre to get its share now, with Stef Smith (of Nora: A Doll’s House fame) adapting Jackson’s original material into a ghostly examination of resentment. Paranormal investigator Dr. John Montague has invited a handful of guests to help him find scientific evidence of the existence of the supernatural at Hill House. As the group begins to experience a series of unexplained events, it becomes apparent that there’s more to the mystery of Hill House, and our characters need to look inward. Directed by Martin Constantine, it’s a decent choice for this spooky season.

Review: THE CAR MAN, Sadler's Wells
by Franco Milazzo - Aug 3, 2026

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. Under a sign reading 'Man Wanted,' the garage owner Dino offers him work and his wife Lana offers considerably more; before the interval is out, so has the gentle mechanic Angelo. Man wanted, indeed.
