Review: THE RESISTIBLE RISE OF ARTURO UI, starring Mark Gatiss


by Cindy Marcolina - April 26, 2026

A corrupt lot steeped in scandal puppeteers the economy. Unreasonable taxes are plaguing the people. Violence is rampant. All the while, a megalomaniac is gaining more traction by the day. Did we turn on the news, or are we watching Bertolt Brecht’s merciless satire? Seán Linnen transforms the al...

Review: TINA - THE TINA TURNER MUSICAL at Theater 11, Zurich


by André Böke - April 20, 2026

The international hit musical Tina – The Tina Turner Musical has landed in Switzerland as part of its recent UK and Ireland tour. In the city where Tina Turner spent her final years, the show gains a striking sense of immediacy. Seamlessly adapted for touring, the production proves it can more t...

Review: THE BODYGUARD at Alte Oper, Frankfurt And On Tour In The UK

Review: VICTORIA: A QUEEN UNBOUND, Watermill Theatre


by Mica Blackwell - April 02, 2026

With countless depictions of Queen Victoria in the media, Daisy Goodwin has managed to create something original and thought-provoking.

Review: DEATH ON THE NILE, Theatre Royal Brighton


by Caroline Cronin - April 01, 2026

Agatha Christie’s Death on the Nile—here adapted by Ken Ludwig and directed by Lucy Bailey—arrives on stage with all the glamour and menace you’d hope for: a sun-soaked cruise, a clutch of suspiciously well-dressed passengers, and, inevitably, a murder that sends everything spiralling....

Review: HENRY V, Royal Shakespeare Theatre


by Cindy Marcolina - March 29, 2026

Henry V of England is one of those big roles for an actor. Alfie Enoch follows in the footsteps of Laurence Olivier and Tom Hiddleston as the king who led a battalion of tired and outnumbered soldiers to victory. Excellent performances may save it, but co-artistic director of the Royal Shakespeare C...

Review: THE BEEKEEPER OF ALEPPO, Richmond Theatre


by Aliya Al-Hassan - March 11, 2026

Christy Lefteri’s 2019 bestseller The Beekeeper of Aleppo is both a powerful and poetic story about the refugee experience. Her story of Nuri and his wife Afra's escape from Syria to England was inspired by time Lefteri spent working in a refugee camp in Athens. Syria may currently be seen as le...

Review: EDUCATING RITA, Reading Rep Theatre


by Jo Caruana - March 03, 2026

The filter-like haze hits you first. Then the occasional lighting, the tiled ceiling, and the faint whiff of the 80s. But it's the arrival of two extraordinary performances – Madelyn Smedley's fizzing, fearless Rita and Julius D'Silva's weary, cynical Frank – that makes Reading Rep Theatre's Edu...

Review: THE CONSTANT WIFE, Theatre Royal Brighton


by Caroline Cronin - February 24, 2026

Adapted by Olivier Award-winner Laura Wade from Somerset Maugham’s original play, The Constant Wife, this new version is directed by Co-Artistic Director of the RSC Tamara Harvey and is now embarking on a UK Tour which, delightfully, opened in Brighton this week. It may not have played to a f...
