The Greeks seem to be trending at the moment. Last year TikTok went mad for Madeline Miller’s book Song of Achilles, Ivo van Hove brought his mash-up of myths to the Barbican at the start of the month, and the Almeida’s latest project is being compared to a Greek masterpiece. London seems to be in a blood-thirsty mood these days and now the Kiln joins in.

BWW Review: THE CHILD IN THE SNOW, Wilton's Music Hall

It doesn’t take much for Wilton’s Music Hall to be atmospheric. The Victorian building, with its balcony, stripping paint, and heartbreakingly beautiful cast-iron pillars, lends itself very well to Christmas ghost stories. All of this, combined with Tom Piper’s ambitious set design and Hayley Egan’s overachieving projections, seems like the perfect production for the theatre’s festive comeback. Too bad The Child In The Snow is a tonally confused and intensely unengaging project.
