Tosca is Giacomo Puccini's fast-paced thriller of an opera; brimming with tension and political intrigue.
Review: THE SPY WHO CAME IN FROM THE COLD, Starring Ralf Little
Author John Le Carré famously banned stage versions of his work, and he may well have felt quietly vindicated with his decision having seen David Eldridge's adaptation of his third book, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold.
Review: BRIGHTON FRINGE REVIEW: FOR THE RECORD, Junk Poets - Caravanserai
What if you were forced to spend eternity with your ex? That’s the deliciously awkward premise behind For The Record, in which former lovers David and Nancy reunite in a kind of musical purgatory to revisit their relationship — and wrestle with the question of what might hav
Review: THE KEY OF DREAMS- THE SHADOWS LENGTHEN, Treowen, Wales
It is now a few days since I left Treowen, a gorgeous 17th century Manor House set in the even-more-gorgeous Welsh countryside and I am still processing the experience.
Book Review: WALKING SHADOW LOVE, LOSS AND SHAKESPEARE, By Greg Doran
While The Winter's Tale's regarded as a play of two halves (set in Sicilia and Bohemia), former Royal Shakespeare Company director Greg Doran's poignant and absorbing Walking Shadow is a book of two halves.
Review: CAROLINE, Queen's Theatre, Hornchurch
Sixty years ago, pirate radio floated on a diet of great pop, but was sunk by a spoilsport government.

Review: WAITRESS starring Carrie Hope Fletcher, New Wimbledon Theatre and on tour
Good songs and good performances but a curiously mixed message from Sara Bareilles's smash hit show
Review: DEATH ON THE NILE, Theatre Royal Brighton
Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile—here adapted by Ken Ludwig and directed by Lucy Bailey—arrives on stage with all the glamour and menace you’d hope for: a sun-soaked cruise, a clutch of suspiciously well-dressed passengers, and, inevitably, a murder that sends everything spiralling.
Review: HENRY V, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Henry V of England is one of those big roles for an actor.
