Of the too-many stage variations of Charles Dickens’ Scrooge story this time of year, the one that’s found its place in my cold, black heart is the Keegan Theatre’s “An Irish Carol.”

One of the worst bad-faith criticisms you can find of anything is the idea that something was “too political” or “had an agenda” and is therefore not something you should engage with. It infuriates me to no end. In addition to being a dog whistle that feels more like a foghorn, it is contradictory to what makes art art.

Recently, we had the chance to talk with Aaron Sidwell, who takes on the infamous role of Bill Sikes. We discussed what made him want to be involved in Oliver!, how he is able to take on such an emotionally demanding role and what makes this production so special compared to other versions of the musical.

See what the critics are saying about Look Back in Anger and Roots at Almeida Theatre. The plays are running in a double bill through late November.

If Roots is the demure first part of the Almeida’s “Angry and Young” season, Look Back in Anger is the explosive finale. How could it not be when the human flamethrower Jimmy Porter is the burning star at the centre of its orbit?

The Almeida’s ”Angry and Young” season is a stroke of curatorial brilliance. Arnold Wesker’s 1958 Roots and John Osborne’s 1956 Look back in Anger face off, a roaring lion in one corner, a growling tiger in the other.

THE HOUSE OF IDEAS provides an entertaining history of Marvel’s precipitous rise to pop cultural supremacy that nicely captures the collaborative spirit of Kirby and Lee’s frequently tumultuous partnership. But more casual fans of the brand may find themselves lost in the play’s more intricate plot points and initially dizzying pace.

As a director, I've had the unique experience of working on two powerful plays by Carey Crim that explore the aftermath of sexual abuse from starkly different angles. As I prepare for the European premiere of 23.5 Hours at Park Theatre, I'd like to share some insights into the challenges and revelations that come with bringing these contrasting perspectives to life on stage, and why I was drawn to telling both stories.
