Review: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Theatre Royal Brighton

Review: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Theatre Royal Brighton

by Caroline Cronin · October 21, 2026

Stef Smith’s stage adaptation of The Haunting of Hill House is notably an adaptation of Shirley Jackson’s original novel rather than the Netflix series. Having experienced neither, I came to this production with a fresh perspective, ready to be surprised.…

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Starring Mathew Horne, Sheffield Crucible

by Sofia Sandica · October 17, 2026

Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night arrives at the Sheffield Crucible in a production directed by Jamie Glover that offers plenty to enjoy. Physical comedy, inventive lighting and live music give this interpretation considerable theatrical character, even if not every creative choice reaches its full po…

Review: THE MARRIAGE OF FIGARO, Glyndebourne

by Aliya Al-Hassan · October 15, 2026

Glyndebourne first opened its manicured doors with a production of Mozart's The Marriage of Figaro, and ninety two years later, the opera begins its fourth Autumn Season. A revival of last summer's breezy production, originally directed by Mariame Clément, it leans into the deceptively simple com…

Review: THE HAUNTING OF HILL HOUSE, Richmond Theatre

by Cindy Marcolina · October 9, 2026

Shirley Jackson’s 1959 gothic novel skyrocketed back to recognition in 2018 when it inspired Mike Flanagan’s Netflix sensation of the same name. It’s time for theatre to get its share now, with Stef Smith (of Nora: A Doll’s House fame) adapting Jackson’s original material into a ghostly ex…
