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Shadowlands can feel a little outdated, but it wins you over with the warmth and wit of the characters and two wonderful performances from Hugh Bonneville and Liz White.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: 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.
BWW Review: AIN'T MISBEHAVIN', Southwark Playhouse
Ain't Misbehavin' crashes through the gloom of Brexity Britain with bangin' tunes and bubbly bantz.
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.
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.
BWW Review: NIGHT OF THE LIVING DEAD LIVE!, Pleasance Theatre
Night of the Living Dead Live! pays homage to its inspiration, the George A.
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.
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.
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.
BWW Review: THE WHITE CROW
The White Crow focuses on Rudolf Nureyev's life from birth until his sensational defection at the age of 23.
BWW Review: WOLFIE, Theatre503
Wolfie glows with the energy and hope of youth, even as it paints a grim picture of a world stacked against it by the alienating forces of a society retreating from its obligations to its children.
BWW Review: STANDING AT THE SKY'S EDGE, Crucible, Sheffield
Sheffield's Richard Hawley-based musical is a spectacular piece of theatre that is full of humour and love - without dodging difficult social issues.
BWW Review: OTHELLO, Union Theatre
Othello remains as relevant today as ever it were, Phil Willmott's adaptation setting it in the Raj of 1919, but it's as much in the White House and Palace of Westminster of 2019.
BWW Review: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
A bold and often beautifully staged production that makes women men and men women to throw light on the often brutal text.
