Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Starring Kenneth Branagh, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
by Cheryl Markosky - Jul 22, 2026

Kenneth Branagh triumphs as rags to riches Lopakhin in Laura Wade's fresh rendering of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Part of a star-studded Royal Shakespeare Company cast, including Helen Hunt and Bill Pullman, he gives a multifaceted portrait of a serf's son who ultimately wins what he wants – but at great cost.

Guest Blog: 'It Offers Intimacy Without Spectacle': Producer and Actor Olivia Lindsay on CONVERSATIONS AFTER SEX at the Park Theatre
by Guest Author - May 7, 2025

Creating Conversations After Sex was a raw, intimate, and often challenging process—much like the show itself. At its core, the project began with a question: What happens in those unguarded moments between people when they think no one is watching?

Review: CONVERSATIONS AFTER SEX, Park Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 3, 2025

Mark O’Halloran’s Irish Times Award-winning play follows a woman’s sexual escapades over the course of a year. Protected by anonymity, she and her bed guests drop their guard alongside their clothes, demanding nothing more than each other’s body. Being shrouded in mystery allows for a profound level of connection. Nameless negotiations and eager acceptance develop inside liberated vignettes where intimacy briefly bridges the gap between strangers. Characters open up freely, detailing heartache, bereavement, and loss, reaping the benefits of not being known, but trying at the same time to be loved. Uncomplicated sex becomes the counterpart of a complicated life. With a London premiere directed by Jess Edwards with natural ease, it’s a shame Conversations After Sex suffers from severe woman-written-by-a-man syndrome.
