Review: SEMELE, Starring Hilary Cronin, Opera Holland Park
by Cheryl Markosky - Aug 24, 2025

BWW Review: THE DOUBLE DEALER, Orange Tree Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Dec 12, 2018

BWW Review: THE WAY OF THE WORLD, Donmar Warehouse
by Charlie Wilks - Apr 6, 2018
William Congreve's restoration classic originally premiered in 1700 and even though it bombed back then, nowadays it is adored for its bonkers farce and balletic lyricism. The story may be long; the play lasts three hours in total and as an audience your patience will be tested. But stick with it; the overall pay off will certainly be worth it.
