BWW Review: THE LAST TEMPTATION OF BORIS JOHNSON, Park Theatre
Jonathan Maitland delivers a satirical take on Brexit in general and Boris Johnson in particular, that lacks the insight and the jokes required to do justice to its source material's rich potential....
BWW Review: THE PROVOKED WIFE, Swan Theatre
The Provoked Wife combines tremendous comedy with a hard-edged look at human nature and the institutions that underpin society - as relevant today as when it was written over 300 years ago....
BWW Review: MATILDA THE MUSICAL, Bristol Hippodrome
Children are just revolting aren't they? They're snivelling maggots that need discipline, discipline and more discipline. Agatha Trunchbull's teaching mantra may not fill most with hope but in the context of Matilda the Musical it brings sheer delight. This is a musical that will have maggots of all...
BWW Review: Gerald Santos Comes Full Circle in Homecoming Concert
Back in Manila from his two-year stint as Thuy in the UK/Ireland and International tour of 'Miss Saigon,' Gerald Santos is now a certified crossover artist. In his homecoming concert last Saturday, May 4, at the Theatre at Solaire, Santos filled his repertoire with songs from musical theater and fro...
BWW Review: BARBER SHOP CHRONICLES, Bristol Old Vic
'It's your pub' says Winston, about the Three Kings Barber shop in London. The African barbers at the shop don't drink, so the barber shop has become the hub of the community. It's the place to watch the football, recount stories and tell jokes....
BWW Review: SHADOWLANDS, Chichester Festival Theatre
Shadowlands can feel a little outdated, but it wins you over with the warmth and wit of the characters and two wonderful performances from Hugh Bonneville and Liz White....
BWW Review: DEAD DOG IN A SUITCASE (AND OTHER LOVE SONGS), Nuffield Southampton Theatres
Opera isn't dead. In fact, it's alive and kicking off thanks to Kneehigh's reimagining of John Gay's The Beggars Opera, which takes on the new and riotous form of Dead Dog in a Suitcase (and other love songs)....
BWW Review: GHOSTS, Royal and Derngate
Mike Poulton's new version of Ibsen's Ghosts will play on your nerves and force you to confront some dark truths....
BWW Review: HELL YES I'M TOUGH ENOUGH, Park Theatre
Ben Alderton takes swipes at every stripe in the political rainbow, but lacks the precision required to bring a plague on all their houses....
BWW Review: EMPTY ROOM, Camden People's Theatre
Miriam Gould's portrait of herself and her parents is as personal as one would expect, but its also beautifully judged and accessible, weaving music in and out of its narrative to great effect....
BWW Review: MARKET BOY, The Union Theatre
Market Boy takes us back to the days of George and Andrew with plenty of bad boys in Romford. And it tells us a fair bit about 2019 en route....
BWW Review: AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', Southwark Playhouse
Ain't Misbehavin' crashes through the gloom of Brexity Britain with bangin' tunes and bubbly bantz. Looks good, sounds good and makes you feel good....
BWW Review: GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, Theatre Royal Brighton
The curtain rises at the Theatre Royal to reveal a heavily decked-out Chinese restaurant, with a sea of red lanterns hanging from polystyrene roof tiles. This is the opening of David Mamet's 1984 Pulitzer Prize-winning play Glengarry Glen Ross, which is making its Brighton stop on its current UK To...
BWW Review: OTHER PEOPLE'S MONEY, Southwark Playhouse
Other People's Money shows us that the misogyny and avarice scrawled on social media and polluting today's politics, can trace its roots back 30 years at least....
BWW Review: OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD, Tobacco Factory Theatres
It's a sensible time to be tackling Timberlake Wertenbaker's modern classic Our Country's Good. The role of theatre in society is ripe for the examination, as cuts bite arts institutions and school curriculums alike. The question is, what is there to be gained by putting on a play?...
BWW Review: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD LIVE!, Pleasance Theatre
Night of the Living Dead Live! pays homage to its inspiration, the George A. Romero cult classic movie, while generating laughs and shocks aplenty...
BWW Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Merlin Theatre, Sheffield
Sheffield's Merlin Theatre celebrates its 50th anniversary with its first professional production....
BWW Review: THE MARVELOUS WONDERETTES, Upstairs at The Gatehouse
The Marvelous Wonderettes is a jukebox musical that does exactly what it says on the tin - the four singers vocally splendid in front of a fine band....
BWW Review: QUEEN OF THE MIST, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
Queen of the Mist is a curious musical about the nearly forgotten woman who was first to go over Niagara Falls in a barrel and who lived to tell her story - the problem was that few wanted to hear it the way she told it....
BWW Review: THE NOISES, The Old Red Lion Theatre
The Noises traps us in a room with Luna, as she tells us her story from puppy to dog / bodyguard while the world disintegrates outside. Her journey is one faced by many neglected kids - a key factor to explain those noises off....
BWW Review: GLENGARRY GLEN ROSS, Theatre Royal, Glasgow
David Mamet's 'Glengarry Glen Ross' pulls no punches and draws the audience straight into the story of four struggling real estate salesmen in 1980's corporate Chicago....
BWW Review: HEART OF DARKNESS, York Theatre Royal
Written more than 100 years ago, Joseph Conrad's novella Heart of Darkness continues to be a hugely influential, and deeply controversial, work of literature. But where Conrad's book paints a picture of colonialist Africa that roots it firmly in its time, this startling new adaptation catapults it h...
BWW Review: BED PEACE: THE BATTLE OF YOHN & JOKO, Cockpit Theatre
Recreating the political tensions that swirled around John and Yoko's Bed-In protest of 50 years ago, this play with music strives for a radical approach to its material, but forgets some theatre basics....
BWW Review: NOUGHTS & CROSSES, York Theatre Royal
Malorie Blackman's young adult novel Noughts & Crosses was ground breaking when it was first published in 2001, and now Pilot Theatre have brought it to the stage to capture a new generation....

The White Crow focuses on Rudolf Nureyev's life from birth until his sensational defection at the age of 23....
