Review: JEEVES TAKES CHARGE, Charing Cross Theatre
First seen 45 years ago, the Olivier Award-winning Jeeves Takes Charge returns to London for a short season at the Charing Cross Theatre. This one-man show sees the affable and endlessly adaptable Sam Harrison take on all 22 roles in a highly energetic and adept performance.…
Review: THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, Yvonne Arnaud Theatre
A real sense of fun lifts an already frothy opera, Mozart at his most mischievous…
Review: GAME OF THRONES: THE MAD KING, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford Upon Avon
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…
Film Review: DAVID BYRNE'S AMERICAN UTOPIA, In Cinemas
Directed by Spike Lee, David Byrne’s American Utopia is a filmed version of David Byrne’s Broadway stage show, which itself is inspired by the record of the same name. The show ran twice on Broadway, first from 2019 to 2020 and then from 2021 to 2022. As someone who saw American Utopia ten times…
Review: DIE ENTFÜHRUNG AUS DEM SERAIL, Glyndebourne
It's over a decade since David McVicar’s glorious version of Mozart's Die Entführung aus dem Serail (The Abduction from the Seraglio) debuted at Glyndebourne. A fitting finale to a wonderful season, the comedy about a clash of cultures returns with an energetic young cast and some exceptional wor…

Home-grown references include London Gin instead of red wine, taking th…
Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Starring Kenneth Branagh, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Kenneth Branagh triumphs as rags to riches Lopakhin in Laura Wade's fresh rendering of Anton Chekhov's The Cherry Orchard. Part of a star-studded Royal Shakespeare Company cast, including Helen Hunt and Bill Pullman, he gives a multifaceted portrait of a serf's son who ultimately wins what he wants …
Review: ARIADNE AUF NAXOS, Glyndebourne Festival
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…
Review: THE SECRET GARDEN, The Egg, Theatre Royal Bath
Tom Wentworth and Stephanie Kempson’s new reimagining of the beloved novel The Secret Garden has inclusivity and accessibility fused into its core from the ground up, and the result is an adaptation that boasts charm by the bucketload.…
