Review: MACBETH, starring Sam Heughan and Lia Williams
Something wicked this way comes: it’s another exciting high-concept Shakespeare.
UK Regional Theater Reviews
The latest reviews and critic recommendations from UK Regional.
Review: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT'S DREAM, Glyndebourne
Sir Peter Hall's iconic production of Benjamin Britten's A Midsummer Night's Dream has achieved legendary status since its premiere in 1981.
Review: LA BOHÈME, Glyndebourne
PucciniAs the nights draw in, it seems highly appropriate to return to Glyndebourne for the start of its Autumn season and the chilly streets of Puccini’s La bohème.
Review: SMALL HOTEL, Starring Ralph Fiennes, Theatre Royal Bath
How many extended metaphors does it take to change a lightbulb? Only one, please, Rebecca Lenkiewicz.
Review: 2:22 A GHOST STORY, Theatre Royal Brighton
Four years on from its premiere at the Noel Coward Theatre, 2:22 A Ghost Story continues to unsettle audiences across the UK and internationally.
Review: THE PARTY GIRLS, Oxford Playhouse
Glamorous and mythic, the Mitford sisters often feel like untouchable figures of the past, central to the tumultuous politics of the interwar period and yet forgotten amidst the rollcall of far more significant names.
Review: THE TALENTED MR RIPLEY, Birmingham Rep
Talented by name, talented by nature: Ed McVey is a perfectly cast Mr Ripley, deftly juggling paranoia, wild optimism, self-pity and bouts of violence, while never losing either his sense of humour or the audience's tolerance.
Review: THE MAN WHO WAS MAGIC, Adelphi Theatre
James Phelan’s latest production, The Man Who Was Magic, arrives at the Adelphi Theatre for one night only after a triumphant Edinburgh run and confirms his reputation as a magician with both flair and heart.
Micaela Prada Steps Into the Spotlight in London with Folklorica
Micaela Prada has built her career on both artistry and discipline, combining the vision of a producer with the presence of a performer.
Review: LITTLE WOMEN, Salisbury Playhouse
Will lovers of Louisa May Alcott's semi-autobiographical novel Little Women, published more than 150 years ago, be content with Anne-Marie Casey's stage adaptation first performed in 2022 and now running at Salisbury Playhouse?
Review: THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE, Sadler’s Wells
If it ain't broke, don't fix it - but by all means develop it into a one-show-does-all situation, which is very much the case for The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe currently showing at Sadler’s Wells.
Review: AS YOU LIKE IT, Starring Harriet Walter, Theatre Royal Bath
What did our critic think of AS YOU LIKE IT, STARRING HARRIET WALTER, THEATRE ROYAL BATH at Theatre Royal Bath?
Review: FAT HAM, Swan Theatre
What if, instead of being based in a castle in Denmark in the late Middle Ages, Hamlet was set at a backyard barbecue in the United States in modern times? That’s exactly what audiences witness in James Iijames’s Pulitzer Prize-winning Fat Ham, which follows Juicy (Olisa Odele), a young, queer b
Review: HEDDA, Starring Lily Allen, Theatre Royal Bath
Anyone who thinks Lily Allen's simply an upstart pop star plonked onstage to pull in the punters and rake in the cash, well, you can think again.
Album Review: LIVE IN LONDON, Marisha Wallace
Marisha Wallace, Broadway’s current Sally Bowles, has had a career in New York and London marked by starring roles in musicals about women surviving tough circumstances.
Review: THE TWO GENTLEMEN OF VERONA, The Other Place, Stratford upon Avon
Joanna Bowman brings Shakespearean Italy to The Other Place at the RSC with her new production of his first play, The Two Gentlemen of Verona.
Review: GREASE, Kilworth House Theatre
There's something inherently magical about outdoor theatre, especially when the theatre is in such beautiful surroundings as Kilworth House's.
Review: ANNE BOLEYN: THE MUSICAL, Hever Castle
There are only a few names that, when spoken, hold such a weight that you feel almost as if you cannot carry them.
Review: DON'T ROCK THE BOAT, The Mill At Sonning
Don’t Rock the Boat tries to be a wild ride down the Thames as the title suggests, but it only lightly bumps into its chaos.
Review: MARY POPPINS, Birmingham Hippodrome
What did our critic think of MARY POPPINS at Birmingham Hippodrome?
Review: FALSTAFF, Glyndebourne Festival
Adapted from Shakespeare’s The Merry Wives of Windsor, director Richard Jones’s glorious Falstaff makes a welcome return to Glyndebourne, losing none of its charm or deft comedy.
Review: THE CONSTANT WIFE, Starring Rose Leslie
It's a bold move for the Royal Shakespeare Company to slip in a remake of W Somerset Maugham's 1920s lesser-known comedy about infidelity in amongst more serious offerings like King Lear and Timon of Athens.
Review: GRACE PERVADES, Starring Ralph Fiennes
Fiennes captures the voice and gait of actor-manager Sir Henry Irving and Miranda Raison conveys the intuitive nature of actress Ellen Terry in a superb production by director Jeremy Herrin in Fiennes' new season at Theatre Royal Bath.
Review: JESUS CHRIST SUPERSTAR, Watermill Theatre
The Watermill Theatre may be small, but this Jesus Christ Superstar is epic on biblical levels.
Review: LE NOZZE DI FIGARO, Glyndebourne Festival
You could be forgiven for thinking that there isn’t much more to be said about Le nozze di Figaro, the most performed opera in Glyndebourne’s history.
