Guest Post: Simon Reade On Adapting Patrick Hamilton's TWENTY THOUSAND STREETS UNDER THE SKY, Coming To Southwark Playhouse
by Guest Author - Sep 1, 2026

Patrick Hamilton (1904-1962) wrote his semi-autobiographical trilogy as a dark celebration of the seedy, smoggy, smutty London he inhabited in the late 1920s. Published first as Bob’s story (The Midnight Bell 1929), then with Jenny’s back-story (the salaciously titled The Siege of Pleasure 1932) and finally Ella’s simultaneous story to Bob’s (The Plains of Cement 1934, originally titled ‘Time, Gentlemen, Please’), Twenty Thousand Streets Under the Sky – A London Trilogy was compiled and published in one volume 1935.

Review: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, Kings Theatre
by Mary Baillie - Oct 11, 2024

A train passenger is murdered - Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot (Michael Maloney) must find the culprit. Suspects are portrayed as amusing caricatures, ranging from a shrieky missionary to a mansplaining gangster and a bold American actress. The exposition drags a little as we are slowly introduced to everyone, but the second showcases an imaginative, quirky take on the acclaimed mystery.

Review: WINNER'S CURSE, Park Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Feb 14, 2023

The production makes a farce of geopolitical tensions and falls short in satire. It over-delivers its cheap gags and over-engages in silly audience interaction.
