Review: EUGENE ONEGIN, The Grange Festival
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Jul 5, 2026
Love, jealousy, arrogance, death and rejection, Tchaikovsky's opera Eugene Onegin has all the trappings of a grand opera, but in essence is a simple story. Brimming with the composer's trademark emotion, Max Webster directs a captivating production at The Grange Festival, featuring an exceptional performance of its heroine Tatyana.

Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, Starring Olly Alexander & Stephen Fry
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Oct 1, 2025
No one could accuse Max Webster's flamboyant production of Oscar Wilde's The Importance of Being Earnest of being subtle. A new cast takes the reins from the National Theatre's hugely successful production last year and moves onto the intimate Noël Coward stage, bringing with them the biting wit, vibrant costumes and sexual fluidity that made this show such a hit.

Review: TITUS ANDRONICUS, Hampstead Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Sep 23, 2025
Hampstead Theatre has seen its fair share of gore. Even so, Max Webster’s Titus Andronicus leaves the boards drenched in something more caustic than fake blood: the acid tang of a civilisation eating itself. Shakespeare’s revenge tragedy is a grotesque feast, and here it’s served up with relish.

Review: LIFE OF PI at Hobby Center For The Performing Arts
by Armando Urdiales - Aug 20, 2025
Brilliant projections, realistic animal puppetry, and a cast that seems to do the impossible are currently at the Hobby Center for the Performing Arts in Lolita Chakrabarti and Yann Martel's Life of Pi. The production, while a visual wonder to behold, is also one of the most head-scratching and perplexing forms of play to grace a Houston stage this summer.

Review: LIFE OF PI at Belk Theater
by Perry Tannenbaum - Aug 18, 2025
Lolita Chakrabarti, in her stage adaptation of LIFE OF PI seems to wish for a more delicate balance between the veracity of Pi’s two different tales of his harrowing sea adventure. Yet all the Award-winning artifices of puppetry, lighting, and projection that accompany his more fantastical version make us want to believe Pi’s unrevised story more and more.
