Review: 1979, Finborough Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - Jan 5, 2024
1979 was quite a big year both politically and culturally, but Canadian Prime Minister Joe Clark is perhaps one of the lesser known figures to emerge from that time – his Liberal opposite number Pierre Trudeau (or at the very least his son, Justin) is probably a more recognisable name.

BWW Review: TIMON OF ATHENS, RSC Swan Theatre
by Gary Naylor - Dec 14, 2018
Timon of Athens, at times a clunky collaboration and a clunkier mix of verse and prose, has much to say about how money corrupts and how spoiling adults is about as advisable as spoiling children. There's something of King Lear about it - but probably not enough.
