BWW Review: THREE SISTERS, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
Once again, a fine production from Arrows & Traps theatre that reminds me, were it necessary, that if you can see Chekhov, you should.

BWW Review: THE YORK REALIST, Crucible, Sheffield
Robert Hastie's take on Peter Gill's tale of north/south love is sympathetic and emotional, with a beautiful lead performance from Ben Batt.
BWW Review: THE MIKADO, King's Head Theatre
Gilbert and Sullivan's comic opera delivered with the emphasis on the comic and more than a nod to the realities of 2018 sensibilities.
BWW Review: QUARTET, Theatre Royal Brighton
What happens to musicians when they are old and grey? Where do famous singers retire when their voices are an echo of what they once were? Ronald Harwood's Quartet follows the antics of four elderly former opera stars as they live out their days in a specialist musician's retirement home in an expan
BWW Review: SONGS FOR NOBODIES, Wilton's Music Hall
A sensational Bernadette Robinson brings five 'nobodies' and five superstars to life in a series of monologues with music that explore human fallibility with wit and wisdom to spare.
BWW Review: THE LADY WITH A DOG, Tabard Theatre
A splendid production that shifts the action from Chekhov's original short story into 1920s Britain to add layers of meaning and depth to both the themes and characters - fringe theatre at its best.
BWW Review: AGNES COLANDER, Theatre Royal Bath
'Only by forgetting all we've ever learned can we learn to live at all': wise words from a work that was, itself, forgotten.
BWW Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Union Theatre
Phil Willmott's The Cherry Orchard picks up Chekhov's action and moves it forward a decade or so to 1917, when the balance of power in Russia was tilted rather differently.
BWW Review: THIS HOUSE, Theatre Royal Bath
A looming European referendum, a Labour party internally divided and drastic spending cuts.
BWW Review: FRANKENSTEIN, Manchester Royal Exchange Theatre
April De Angelis's adaptation of Frankenstein, directed by Matthew Xia, stays true to its source's literary narrative.
BWW Review: CILLA - THE MUSICAL, Bristol Hippodrome
Charting the rise of Cilla Black's pop career is tough ask for a musical.
BWW Review: ARA MALIKIAN - THE INCREDIBLE VIOLIN, Barbican Hall
Ara Malikian showcases his talents with an eclectic mix of music spiced with showmanship and stories, with a twist in the tail.
BWW Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Bristol Old Vic
The Bristol Old Vic has opened it's 'Year of Change' in spectacular fashion in this riveting new translation of Chekhov's final play The Cherry Orchard.
BWW Review: SUMMER AND SMOKE, Almeida Theatre
Bold re-imagining of an early Tennessee Williams play that gives its themes a universality in a uniquely theatrical experience.
BWW Review: CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION, Manchester HOME
Annie Baker's 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Circle Mirror Transformation, transports you to a studio in a community centre in Vermont.
BWW Review: PIPPIN, Southwark Playhouse
Technical shortcomings and an incoherent book overpower a show with a fine pedigree and good tunes.
BWW Review: HAIRSPRAY, Bristol Hippodrome
Setting a musical in 1960s Baltimore against a backdrop of increasing racial tension between white and black American's doesn't exactly scream feelgood musical.
BWW Review: THE GAME OF LOVE & CHAI, Tara Arts Theatre
Classic French farce gets a Bollywood makeover for the 21st century in Nigel Planer's enjoyable adaptation of Marivaux's comedy.
BWW Review: MACBETH, Wilton's Music Hall
Macbeth delivered by dancers in a unique space, beautifully lit, creating an electrifying theatrical experience.
BWW Review: MACBETH, Tobacco Factory Theatres
There were more than a few raised eyebrows when the all new Factory Company from Tobacco Factory Theatres announced it's first play would be a Shakespeare.
BWW Review: FROST/NIXON, Crucible, Sheffield
A timely revival of Peter Morgan's play about David Frost's interviews with Richard Nixon is beautifully staged and powerfully acted.
BWW Review: A PRINCESS UNDONE, Park Theatre
Princess Margaret brought to life by Felicity Dean in a production that promises more than it delivers about a tragic figure born a generation too early to change the Royal Family.
BWW Review: THE TEMPEST, Brockley Jack Studio Theatre
Ambition not quite matched by execution in an all-female production of The Tempest, one of fringe theatre's more challenging plays to get right.
BWW Review: CARMEN 1808, Union Theatre
Liberties have been taken with Bizet's opera, but none are diabolical, and what emerges is something which is sometimes less and sometimes more than its inspiration.
BWW ALBUM REVIEW: Andrew Lloyd Webber's 70'th Birthday Is To Be Celebrated With The Release of ANDREW LLOYD WEBBER: UNMASKED: THE PLATINUM COLLECTION
