Review: THE CODE, Southwark Playhouse Elephant Photo
Review: THE CODE, Southwark Playhouse Elephant
by Louise Penn - Sep 18, 2025

Michael McKeever's play mixes fact, gossip, and invention in a spicy drama that offers a biting comment on the grime behind the glitter of Hollywood. John Partridge is superb as Billy Haines, both a smooth charmer and a crumpled defeatist.The Code is a very artificial play in many ways. It gleefully regurgitates snark and gossip and treads a line where folks have to 'put on a show' within a show.
