Review: HIGH SOCIETY, King's Theatre Photo
Review: HIGH SOCIETY, King's Theatre
by Natalie O'Donoghue - Sep 2, 2026

Latest in the line of blockbuster Cole Porter musicals dominating the Barbican’s summer programming is High Society, following in the footsteps of Anything Goes and Kiss Me, Kate. Like its predecessors, High Society is, to a certain extent, an excuse for a series of absurd situations contrived to fit in as many Cole Porter songs as possible.

Review: CHRISTMAS DAY, Almeida Theatre
by Franco Milazzo - Dec 22, 2025

There is a particular kind of contemporary British play that believes proximity to the dinner table equals profundity. Or human connection. Or a direct line to our stomachs, if not our hearts. It’s never really clear. Sam Grabiner’s Christmas Day (his first play since his Olivier-winning Boys on the Verge of Tears) is delivered under James Macdonald’s taut but ultimately overburdened direction and both fulfils and interrogates that tradition.
