Photos: KOLHAAS Starring Arinzé Kene At Corn Exchange

Production photos have been released for the world premiere of Kohlhaas, directed by Omar Elerian (Rhinoceros, Bengal Tiger at the Baghdad Zoo, The Chairs) starring three-time Olivier nominee Arinzé Kene.

Review: BENGAL TIGER AT THE BAGHDAD ZOO, Young Vic

Bengal Tiger At The Baghdad Zoo, arriving now at the Young Vic for its long-overdue European premiere, is ostensibly about the American occupation of Iraq. Really, though, Rajiv Joseph’s Pulitzer-nominated work is about two things: a gold-plated toilet seat stolen from Uday Hussein (son of Saddam and recreational rapist, torturer and murderer), and the sheer, unforgivable absurdity of existence.

INTERVIEW Comes to Riverside Studios

This August, the World Premiere of a new stage adaptation of Interview, a seductive psychological thriller about truth, persona, and power, comes to the stage at Riverside Studios.

Review: THE PICNIC, Sadler's Wells

Billed as a 'weird and wonderful gathering', Eva Recacha's full-length work The Picnic is inspired by the painting The Garden of Earthly Delights by Hieronymus Bosch, dating from the 15th century.  The Picnic is about pleasure, power, privilege, passion, playfulness and partying. It is as hedonistic as it is human, as vibrant as it is visceral, as supportive as it is strange.

Review: NOWHERE, Battersea Arts Centre

The world is a dark place. Every day, we seem to edge closer to the start of another global conflict. Nowhere is safe. War and destruction have become steady protagonists on our television screens, to the point where we’re growing increasingly desensitised to violence.

Review Roundup: A FACE IN THE CROWD at the Young Vic

See what the critics are saying about A Face in the Crowd by Elvis Costello and Sarah Ruhl’s at The Young Vic. Read the reviews for the production starring Ramin Karimloo, and learn more.

Review: A FACE IN THE CROWD, Young Vic

“I love you like Mary Shelley loved her monster.” Being in the right place at the right time can change your life. So, when young producer Marcia Jeffries stumbles upon a drunken Larry Rhodes while she’s recording a radio segment somewhere in the southern States, it seems like it’s fate. A gifted singer songwriter with a charming bluntness to him, Rhodes is immediately offered a slot on her show and his rise to stardom begins. Based on the 1957 film that launched Andy Griffith’s career, A Face in the Crowd is now only a creaky musical with an attractive cast. Written by Elvis Costello and Sara Ruhl, it’s Kwame Kwei-Armah’s swansong as Artistic Director of the Young Vic.
