Review: QUADROPHENIA: A MOD BALLET, Sadler's Wells
by Louise Penn - Jun 26, 2025
This is a production that falls into the above average category but not yet a 'great' achievement. It tries to do a little too much and falls short in some of the storytelling, despite having a real sense of heart and commitment.
A lot of imagination, love and money has gone into this, with great video work and powerful dancing, but the orchestrations didn't work for me.
Review: THE GOVERNMENT INSPECTOR, Marylebone Theatre
by Mica Blackwell - May 9, 2024
Nikolai Gogol's 1836 satire The Government Inspector caused a stir for calling out the Russian government's corruption. It's easy to see why Peter Myers wanted to bring its relevant story to the stage two centuries later, but the biting commentary under the silliness is lost in translation in this chaotic production in spite of the talent onstage.

BWW Review: TOWARDS ZERO, The Mill At Sonning
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 18, 2019
It's the late 1950s and like every year, family and friends gather at Lady Tressilian's summer house in Cornwall. Tragedy hits and a murder is committed in Christie's deliciously dramatic fashion. Brian Blessed therefore concludes his Agatha Christie quartet at The Mill at Sonning with Towards Zero, the author's last installment of her Superintendent Battle series and what's regarded as one of her finest stories.
