BWW Review: THE STRANGE DEATH OF JOHN DOE, Hampstead Theatre
A timely and important new play that blends movement, comedy and pathos into a compelling mix that says much about how we value life in 2018....
BWW Review: CRAZY FOR YOU, Theatre Royal Brighton
George and Ira Gershwin have written some of the most memorable songs of the 20th century. Crazy for You contains some of their most beloved hits: 'I Got Rhythm', 'Embraceable You', 'Someone to Watch Over Me', and more....
BWW Review: BIRDSONG, Theatre Royal, Glasgow
As the centenary of the armistice of the First World War approaches, there is no better time for Sebastian Faulks's Birdsong to be revived once again in its staged adaptation by Rachel Wagstaff....
BWW Review: BREAK OF NOON, Finborough Theatre
A revival of a work by the revered French playwright, Paul Claudel, that probably doesn't say enough, but does so at enormous length....
BWW Review: THE STRING QUARTET'S GUIDE TO SEX AND ANXIETY, Theatre Royal Brighton
The Mental Health Foundation reports that there were 8.2 million cases of anxiety in the UK in 2013. All of us may feel stressed at some point in our lives, but it can be an unwanted and overwhelming strain on many people's day-to-day activities....
BWW Review: A SOCKFUL OF CUSTARD, Pleasance Theatre
A curiously intrusive structure gets in the way of the extraordinary, one-off comic genius that was Spike Milligan in an affectionate tribute from Chris Larner and Jeremy Stockwell....
BWW Review: THRILLER LIVE, King's Theatre, Glasgow
Despite an incredible back catalogue to choose from, and a nine year production history, the show never really captivates it's audience in the way it should....
BWW Review: MISS SAIGON, Bristol Hippodrome
As one of the final so called mega-musicals of the 1980s, Miss Saigon could be forgiven if it felt a little dated by 2018. Thankfully, there's not one bit of tiredness about this re-booted version, originally seen in London in 2014 for its 25th Anniversary....
BWW Review: THE HUMOURS OF BANDON, Brighthelm Centre
What craic! The Humours of Bandon is a delightful peek into the world of Irish Dancing Championships. Written and performed by Margaret McAuliffe and directed by Stefanie Preissner, this one-woman show tells the story of schoolgirl Annie over the course of a few years as she juggles schoolwork and n...
BWW Review: OUR COUNTRY'S GOOD, Sheffield Crucible
Ramps on the Moon and Nottingham Playhouse present a powerful, creative and timely take on Timberlake Wertenbaker's play....
BWW Review: EFFIGIES OF WICKEDNESS (SONGS BANNED BY THE NAZIS), Gate Theatre
Weimar Cabaret delivered with talent, humour and fear to burn!...
BWW Review: ADAM, Theatre Royal Brighton
The journey of an asylum seeker is a harrowing one, especially if it's your family and old identity you are fleeing....
BWW Review: WORTH A FLUTTER, The Hope Theatre
A slice of working class life that tickles the funny bone and pulls at the heartstrings, but never quite resolves its structural issues....
BWW Review: A HOUSE REPEATED, Brighton Dome
Those of us who have played strategy computer games will be familiar with the frustration of coming across locked doors, retracing our steps and getting lost in a virtual world. A House Repeated plunges the audience into a virtual Brighton Dome and we are encouraged to 'explore' by the two guides/na...
BWW Review: THE SWALLOW, Cervantes Theatre
Guillem Clua's new play is a serious examination of how love finds expression differently, beautifully translated and acted with great sensitivity - a thought-provoking and ultimately uplifting production....
BWW Review: Little Shop of Horrors, Cumbernauld Theatre
Cumbernauld Musical Theatre Society bring their first staged musical to Cumbernauld Theatre only a year after the Society's inception. Audiences can expect spooks, laughs and a ridiculously catchy score in this loveable monster of a musical....
BWW Review: OTHELLO, Liverpool Everyman
For their third production this season, the Everyman company tackles Shakespeare's enduring tragedy based upon lies, jealously and power....
BWW Review: TWANG!! THE MUSICAL, Union Theatre
A Lionel Bart post-Oliver! flop given a new book and a huge injection of energy just makes you feel happy - and ain't that a good thing!...
BWW Review: PRESENT LAUGHTER, Chichester Festival Theatre
Noel Coward's comic play Present Laughter is said to be his most autobiographical work, dealing with the complexities of a life of fame in the theatre world. It tells of the mischief and misery of actor Garry Essendine (an anagram of 'neediness', as the programme note points out), his household staf...
BWW Review: MOORMAID, Arcola Theatre
Moormaid takes on a contemporary issue - the return to Europe of young men who fought in Syria - but fails to build characters in whom we can believe despite some fine acting....
BWW Review: A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, Tobacco Factory Theatres
There's an old rocking chair with a threadbare cushion in the corner of small living room near Brooklyn Bridge, New York. In it sits Eddie Carbone, our tragic hero, reading the paper. He smells of coffee from the sacks he's been unloading at the docks. A hard-working man providing for his wife Beatr...
BWW Review: THE WINSLOW BOY, Theatre Royal Brighton
How much are we willing to sacrifice for the pursuit of truth and justice? Terence Rattigan's The Winslow Boy explores this thorny question....
BWW Review: THE GOLDEN F**KING YEARS, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
The Golden F**king Years is a beautifully observed and acted farce that finds plenty of comedy in the tedium of ageing and the sudden opportunity of a bit of excitement - and the consequences that inevitably follow....
BWW Review: GAUHAR JAAN - THE DATIA INCIDENT, Omnibus Theatre
A play and accompanying exhibition about a renowned Indian singer, the eponymous Gauhar Jaan, and 'an incident' that gained infamy across India in the early 20th century....
BWW Review: SON OF A PREACHER MAN, Theatre Royal Brighton
The premise sounds promising: a brand new jukebox musical featuring the music of Dusty Springfield. Written by Warner Brown and directed and choreographed by Craig Revel Horwood, Son of a Preacher Man opened in Bromley in September 2017 and is currently touring the UK....
