Review: MACBETH, Donmar Warehouse
by Cindy Marcolina
- Dec 16, 2023
It would be interesting to see the show free from all the fancy listening gear so we can bask in the thrill of seeing Tennant and Jumbo grapple with their actions without a middleman. After all, isn’t part of the beauty of theatre that the audience isn’t separated from the story by a screen of any kind? The run is sold out (as it should be!) and they’re probably already in talks for a transfer (as they should!), but one wonders if this is actually what the future of drama is: a Shakespearean ASMR experience that will be dubbed as immersive. Fair is foul, and foul is fair.

by Debbie Gilpin
- Nov 8, 2023
There are plenty of Shakespeare books on the market already, it’s true – but there aren’t many out there quite like this one.

Review: THE EMPRESS, Lyric Hammersmith
by Cheryl Markosky
- Oct 11, 2023
There are meaty themes, moments of humour and insight, and the standard of professionalism you’d expect from a Royal Shakespeare Company production first staged in Stratford in 2013 and now playing at the Lyric Hammersmith. But somehow Tanika Gupta’s script doesn’t quite take off.
