Opera Holland Park’s staging of Handel’s beloved Acis and Galatea is a smashing success that finds just the right balance between musical finesse and tongue-in-cheek comedy.

It’s haunted by a script that’s as creaky as the house investigated by the characters, but it’s captivating enough here and there. After a fascinating lecture held by Professor Dubois, Erin sets off to find out why people keep disappearing at Torhill Wood.

King’s Head Theatre will present its first ever family pantomime in its new and flexible 250-seat auditorium this Christmas.

We love a summer horror, but it’s rare for stages to be treated to one. With celebrity-bait 2:22 currently delighting the West End until next month, it’s only fair for the fringe to respond. The Witching Hour promises to be the right indie spooky story to spice up these miserably unsunny days, but is it really? A witch, a forest, and a script as creaky as the house the characters investigate haunt this well-meaning project. After the religious undertones, a fascinating lecture held by one Professor Dubois kicks off. The piece is propped up by rational explanations, but there are a few delicious jump-scares between the theorising of how the witch-hunts were a byproduct of the collective unconscious and the backhanded invective against the abuse of ignorance as a tool for oppression and control. Yet, it’s slightly annoying in its forceful angles.
