Review: HERE COMES J EDGAR!, King's Head Theatre
by Clementine Scott - Jul 16, 2026

During his near-half century leading the FBI, J Edgar Hoover used illegal surveillance techniques on thousands of Americans allegedly connected with communism, curbed the influence of civil rights leaders, and caused damage to the US labour movement from which it has never recovered.

by Clementine Scott - Jun 8, 2026

Review: RAGDOLL, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Oct 15, 2025

In early 1974, American actress Patty Hearst was brutally abducted from her flat in California by the Symbionese Liberation Army, deemed the first far-left terrorist organisation. Faced with the choice of being released or joining the militia, Hearst decided to stay and fight with the dissidents. She was arrested over a year and a half later, after a series of serious felonies that included a bank robbery. Her 35-year sentence was reduced to 7, then pardoned altogether. Inspired by Hearst’s trial, Katherine Moar writes a look at fame and crime for the #MeToo age.
