Review: PARANORMAL ACTIVITY, Ambassadors Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Dec 15, 2025

Review: MUSEUM OF AUSTERITY, Young Vic
by Franco Milazzo - Dec 12, 2025

There are many museums dedicated to disaster, but only Britain could create one in which the exhibits are victims of its own fiscal policies. Museum of Austerity, revived at the Young Vic, is a cool, technologically-slick indictment, a moral subpoena served directly to your eyeballs through augmented-reality headsets. Grimmer than a midwinter funeral, the show is misnamed and flawed but serves as a salient reminder of how man’s inhumanity to man never ceases to beggar the imagination.
