BWW Review: HAIRSPRAY, King's Theatre, Glasgow

BWW Review: HAIRSPRAY, King's Theatre, Glasgow

by Fiona Scott — March 29, 2022

Hairspray has returned to Glasgow at the nicest “Kings” in town! The show follows the antics of aspiring teen dancer, Tracy Turner, and her dreams of dancing on TV and ending segregation in her 1960s Baltimore community.

BWW Review: RICHARD II, Jack Studio Theatre

BWW Review: RICHARD II, Jack Studio Theatre

by Gary Naylor — February 25, 2022

A boutique Shakespeare, some of the religious aspects of the play are sacrificed for a version that proves to be an accessible, psychological political thriller.

BWW Review: PURPLE SNOWFLAKES AND TITTY WANKS, Royal Court

by Paige Cochrane — February 4, 2022

What do nuns, granola bars and a string of pearls all have in common? It sounds like the start of a bad joke but really, they’re all part of Sarah Hanly’s vibrant one-woman show, Purple Snowflakes and Titty Wanks.

BWW Review: STRAIGHT WHITE MEN, Southwark Playhouse

by Paige Cochrane — November 17, 2021

What happens when Christmas Day becomes a playing ground to expose the tangible relationship between privilege and identity? Written by Young Jean Lee, Straight White Men is an ambitious study of those who gain the most from the world and their awareness of the power they possess.

BWW Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Theatre Royal Windsor

BWW Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Theatre Royal Windsor

by Gary Naylor — October 15, 2021
