BWW Review: EQUUS, Theatre Royal Stratford East

2018 Year in Review: Aliya Al-Hassan's Best of Theatre

What a bizarre year 2018 has been. In the months that saw too much Trump, devastating Californian wildfires, an escalation in the refugee crisis, not to mention the dreaded 'B' word, it makes me more grateful than ever for the pure escapism that live theatre so often provides.

It could be a big bear or a small rabbit, but whatever it is, you somehow are magically drawn to it and can't take your eyes off, with emotions exploding inside you?
