Review Roundup: What did the critics think of the revival of Brian Friel's Dancing At Lughnasa?

Josie Rourke's new production has much about it to admire, but has little to say on the changes in Ireland since the play's first incarnation on the South Bank in 1990

April has some truly exciting theatre in store. From Ryan Calais Cameron's new play about Sidney Poitier to a revival of Brian Friel's Olivier Award-winning play and one of Noël Coward's darkly comic masterpieces, BroadwayWorld has some brilliant recommendations for your theatrical delectation.

Modern life is shit and pointless. Phones, beer, sex, chips. Garish bright flashing lights. Mere distractions.

Acclaimed Irish drama RIALTO, from acclaimed director Peter Mackie Burns (Daphne) and writer Mark O'Halloran, will be released in virtual theaters, On Demand and DVD this fall from Breaking Glass Pictures.

Channel 4 and Amazon Studios are frankly gleeful to announce the commission of Frank of Ireland, a brand-new series from Sharon Horgan and Clelia Mountford's Merman starring Brian Gleeson. A co-production between Channel 4 and Amazon Studios, the 6x30 series is the first comic vision penned by brothers Brian and Domhnall Gleeson and Michael Moloney.

Variety reports that Domhnall and Brian Gleeson will produce and co-write 'Frank of Ireland,' a new comedy series meant for Amazon and Channel 4.

Starz announced today that their original series 'Dublin Murders' will premiere on Sunday, November 10, 2019, at 8 PM ET/PT on STARZ. In addition, the network unveiled the official trailer as well as the original key art.

Maze charts how inmate Larry Marley, played by Tom Vaughan-Lawlor (Love/Hate, Avengers: Infinity War), becomes chief architect of the largest prison escape in Europe since World War II - an escape which he plans but does not go on himself. 

Starz, a Lionsgate company (NYSE: LGF.A, LGF.B), announced today that the network has acquired the eight-episode drama series 'Dublin Murders,' from Fremantle. The series is adapted from Tana French's first two novels in the Dublin Murder Squad crime series, In The Woods and The Likeness. 'Dublin Murders' is an atmospheric, psychological thriller brought to life by acclaimed series creator and writer Sarah Phelps (Agatha Christie's And Then There Were None, J.K. Rowling's The Casual Vacancy).

Audiences now have just five weeks left to see the critically acclaimed West End production of playwright Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party. The company for the major revival, which runs 60 years since the play's debut, includes Toby Jones, Stephen Mangan, Zoe Wanamaker, Pearl Mackie, Tom Vaughan-Lawlor and Peter Wight, and is directed by Ian Rickson.

Landmark Productions presents a new play by Mark O'Rowe - his first since the award-winning Our Few and Evil Days at the Abbey in 2014.  Following a hugely successful run at the Project Arts Centre, Dublin, The Approach comes to The Everyman, Cork, from 27 February – 3 March.

It's 60 years since Harold Pinter's play premiered - and flopped - at Lyric Hammersmith, baffling critics (with one exception) and audiences alike. Now, we expect the sinister subversion of both the seemingly mundane setting and the dramatic form that Pinter the jobbing actor knew from rep: that of the sub-Christie mystery thriller. But played well, as it is here by a starry cast, the play still has the power to unsettle.

Actor Peter Wight's career varies from Robert Icke's recent Hamlet to a range of classical and contemporary work with the National Theatre, Royal Court and RSC, plus multiple Mike Leigh films. His current project is the 60th-anniversary revival of Harold Pinter's The Birthday Party, now in previews at the Harold Pinter Theatre.

London is never short of temptations, whether splashy West End shows, epic dramas or bold fringe offerings. From a major Pinter revival to Wilde, Schiller and some exciting transfers, here are this month's most eye-catching openings. Don't forget to check back for BroadwayWorld's reviews!
