Review: MAN TO MAN, Starring Tilda Swinton, Royal Court
by Franco Milazzo - Sep 13, 2026

Those worrying that Tilda Swinton — the patron saint of Sunday afternoon arthouse movies and performance art best experienced through reviews — has gone mainstream should make themselves a cup of chamomile tea and relax. There are likely very few famous actors (never mind Oscar winners) queuing up to spend their night daubed in white paint and standing alone for 80 minutes dressed in little more than a string vest and giant red y-fronts. There are, though, plenty of people eager to watch la Swinton: the London run has already sold out ahead of press night before, like a rock tour, the play heads to Edinburgh, Berlin and New York.

Review: LAUGHING BOY, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - May 1, 2024

When Connor dies whilst in the care of the NHS, his mum, Sara, wants answers. Premiering under Stephen Unwin’s taut direction, Sara Ryan’s Laughing Boy is a bittersweet docu-play about brutal neglect and apathy.

Review: FARM HALL, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Mar 15, 2023

After Hitler’s death and the German defeat, the Führer’s top nuclear scientists are being held in the English countryside while the Pacific continues. With nothing to do but read redacted newspapers, skim through familiar books, and write censored letters, the six men wallow in their boredom, unaware that they’re being recorded.
