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.

Football is not a subject often tackled in the theatre.
BWW Review: PURPLE SNOWFLAKES AND TITTY WANKS, Royal Court

BWW Review: DRACULA: THE UNTOLD STORY, Liverpool Playhouse
One would assume that beyond the original novel and the 200+ films made in his honour, there is little more to explore surrounding the lore of Bram Stoker's most iconic villain.

Francesca Annis is in show-stealing form in Chekhov's masterpiece of changing times in a Windsor I last saw on television coverage of Harry and Meghan's wedding - appropriately enough.

BWW Review: CALL ME MADAM, Upstairs at the Gatehouse
Escapist, dated nonsense, but such fun and beautifully done.
BWW Review: THE BEAUTY QUEEN OF LEENANE, Minerva Theatre, Chichester
This landmark play in Anglo-Irish drama gets a superb revival in a space that could have been designed exactly for its claustrophobic tale of familial obligations and missed opportunities

BWW Review: THE COLOR PURPLE - AT HOME, Curve@Home Online
