UK Regional Theater Reviews
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from UK Regional.
Review: DREAMGIRLS, King's Theatre, Glasgow
What did our critic think of DREAMGIRLS at King's Theatre, Glasgow?
Review: TRIO, New Wolsey Theatre
At its core, Trio’s biggest wound is a self-inflicted one.
Review: THE WELLSPRING. Salisbury Playhouse
The Wellspring is a new father and son two-hander by award-winning playwright Barney Norris (Visitors, Eventide, Nightfall) and novelist (Five Rivers Met on a Wooded Plain, Undercurrent); and his father - pianist, composer and broadcaster David Owen Norris.
Review: GODS OF THE GAME, Grange Park Opera
Football opera land perfectly between the Women's Euros and the Men's World Cup finding plenty of common ground to delight fans of both art forms
Review: SPIKE, Salisbury Playhouse
In a fabulously fast-paced and funny tribute to Spike Milligan, writers Ian Hislop and Nick Newman affectionately convey how the extraordinary Anglo-Irishman creates The Goon Show.
Review: RAMBERT DANCE IN PEAKY BLINDERS: THE REDEMPTION OF THOMAS SHELBY, Birmingham Hippodrome
The sinister chords of Nick Cave and the Bad Seeds' 'Red Right Hand' ring out as Tommy Shelby stands, flanked by family members, with the light glinting from the razor blade sewn into his wool tweed cap.
Review: WHEN DARKNESS FALLS, Salisbury Playhouse
A debate about folklore versus fact, and whether history is just 'a collection of lies we've decided upon'.
Review: SUGAR BABY, Alphabetti Theatre
Sugar Baby made its debut at the Edinburgh Festival Fringe in 2017.
Review: THE NARCISSIST, Chichester Festival Theatre
Christopher Shinn's play brims with interesting politics but is too often bogged down in overly-familiar personal issues
Review: INTO THE WOODS, Theatre Royal Bath
A terrifically trippy child's world on speed in a Victorian toy theatre within a theatre, conjured up by inventive 81-year-old Gilliam, and his co-director and choreographer, Leah Hausman.
Review: ALL'S WELL THAT ENDS WELL, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Not an easy play to watch, but a fascinating analysis of some of humanity's darker corners
Review: PHAEDRA/MINOTAUR, Theatre Royal Bath
They say good things come in small packages.
Review: IDENTICAL, Nottingham Playhouse
From Erich Kastner's classic 1949 novel, to the 1961 movie starring Hayley Mills and the 1998 remake featuring Lindsay Lohan, The Parent Trap has been delighting families for generations.
Review: BUGSY MALONE, Birmingham Repertory Theatre
It's Prohibition-era New York, but not as you know it.
Review: BILLY ELLIOT THE MUSICAL, Leicester Curve
Six years after it closed in the West End, the first new staging of Billy Elliot The Musical has opened at the Leicester Curve, made possible by liaison with the original filmmakers.
Review: ESTELLA, Trinity Theatre, Tunbridge Wells
Charles Dickens' novels are filled to the brim with characters who capture different elements of the human condition - evil and good and, crucially, plenty in-between.
BWW Review: LES MISERABLES, Bristol Hippodrome
It’s tough to keep a musical juggernaut like Les Misérables going.
Review: BUGSY MALONE, Theatre Royal Bath
A delightfully entertaining performance full of energy and talented young stars.
Review: RICHARD III, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Gregory Doran brings the RSC's decade long History cycle to its conclusion with a worthy, if wordy, Richard III
BWW Review: THE SOUTHBURY CHILD, Chichester Festival Theatre
Funny, frightening and thought-provoking, The Southbury Child cannot quite keep all its plates spinning, but is bold in its ambition and execution
Review: PLAYBOY OF THE WEST INDIES, Birmingham Rep
It's been over a century since John Millington Synge's Irish play The Playboy of the Western World was first performed, and almost 40 years since Mustapha Matura transported the story to Trinidad in the original version of Playboy of the West Indies.
BWW Review: SINGIN' IN THE RAIN, Birmingham Hippodrome
Often cited as one of the best movie musicals ever made, the 1952 romantic comedy Singin’ In The Rain, starring Gene Kelly, Donald O'Connor and Debbie Reynolds, has a special place in many people's hearts.
BWW Review: NOISES OFF, Pitlochry Festival Theatre
Forty years on from its debut at the Lyric Hammersmith Theatre in London in 1982, Michael Fryan’s farce-within-a-farce, Noises Off, returns to Pitlochry Festival Theatre as part of their 2022 summer season.
BWW Review: SUNSHINE ON LEITH, PITLOCHRY FESTIVAL THEATRE
The sun is certainly shining on Perthshire, as Pitlochry Festival Theatres celebrates the opening of its recently renovated building.
