Review: CREDITORS, Starring Charles Dance, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Sep 15, 2025
Orange Tree artistic director Tom Littler first directed Howard Brenton’s adaptation of August Strindberg’s Creditors at Jermyn Street Theatre in 2019, in rep with Miss Julie. He has secured quite a coup in gathering such a star-studded cast of acting veterans with Geraldine James, Nicholas Farrell and Charles Dance in this wonderfully performed but underwhelming production.

Review: CHURCHILL IN MOSCOW, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Feb 12, 2025
In 1942 Moscow a top-secret meeting occured between Winston Churchill and Joseph Stalin as the Nazis rampaged through Europe and into the Soviet Union. This world premiere of Howard Brenton’s play imagines the attempts at diplomacy, political clashes and eye-watering amounts of drinking that may have occured as the two men thrashed out a deal to try to save the world.

by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 8, 2022
Socrates: enigmatic Greek philosopher and generator of many a good quote. Accused of sacrilege and corrupting the young minds of Athens, he was sentenced to death by forced poisoning. He might be revered as the founding father of Western philosophy, but he was a dangerous presence back in Attic times.
