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.

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 BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO, Theatre Royal Brighton
Heartbreaking, thought-provoking and beautifully staged, The Beekeeper of Aleppo is one of those productions that stays with you. More than anything, it reminds us that behind every headline about refugees is a human story. For that reason alone, it feels like a play that everyone should see.…
Review: GIULIO CESARE, The Grange Festival
A new version of Handel's 1724 opera Giulio Cesare is always an exciting prospect. The love story between Julius Caesar and Cleopatra, with the backdrop of war with Egypt, political ambition and domestic unrest is ripe for reinterpretation. Indeed, Handel and his librettist the librettist Nicola …
