Review: GAME OF THRONES: THE MAD KING, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Upon Avon

by Clementine Scott · August 9, 2026

With some reluctance, longtime fans of Game of Thrones have acknowledged that the novel series that inspired the era-defining HBO fantasy show – George RR Martin’s A Song of Ice and Fire – will likely never be finished, and the franchise will be chiefly remembered for its disappointing TV endi…

Review: L'ELISIR D'AMORE, Dorset Opera Festival

by Cheryl Markosky · July 24, 2026

The Dorset Opera Festival finds the perfect setting for Gaetano Donizetti's L'elisir d'amore. This little gem of an opera company cleverly relocates the action from an Italian town to its own surroundings in Hardy's countryside. Home-grown references include London Gin instead of red wine, taking th…

Review: ARIADNE AUF NAXOS, Glyndebourne Festival

by Aliya Al-Hassan · July 20, 2026

Richard Strauss's opera within an opera, Ariadne aux Naxos, is a curious beast: a hybrid of spoken word and singing, a mix of musical influences and themes which ask whether high art can ever mix with popular entertainment. Two rival musical companies – a burlesque group and a serious opera compan…
