BWW Review: BARRY HUMPHRIES - THE MAN BEHIND THE MASK, Richmond Theatre
Two and a half hours flies by and you're left racing to Amazon to download a biography to find out more - not bad for a man of 88....
BWW Review: MARIA CALLAS: LETTERS & MEMOIRS, Her Majesty's Theatre
She charmed Daniel Craig’s pants off in Spectre, was rather bored in the Matrix, and accompanied Christ to the cross in The Passion Of The Christ. A sex symbol in the 90s and noughties, now she is Maria Callas in her one-night-only West End debut. An icon plays an icon, both with colossal reputati...
BWW Review: HOW IT IS (PART 2), The Coronet Theatre

Read our critic's review - A post-modern tint cannot save this 1938 play from feeling stuck in the past....
BWW Review: THE MALADIES, The Yard
So many voices are presented in a play that reclaims women's narratives that we lose the story in a confusing, chaotic 70 minutes...
BWW Review: THE BURNT CITY, One Cartridge Place
The Trojan War is the stuff of countless myths and later retellings. But probably none of them could make you get physically lost in the labyrinthine worlds of Hecuba's Troy and Agamemnon's Mycenae. For that, you would need to head to One Cartridge Place, where the renowned immersive theatre company...

BWW Review: HENRY VI: REBELLION and WARS OF THE ROSES, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Arthur Hughes is in showstealing form as the Duke of Gloucester, soon Richard III, as Henry VI loses his wife, his kingdom and his life. Read our BWW critic's review. ...
BWW Review: FORGOTTEN FELLOW, Lion & Unicorn Theatre
The world is isolating. While everyone is panic-buying loo roll, students have gone back to their accommodations with the promise of an uninterrupted education. Overnight, a fence goes up right outside a flat that’s more like a microcosmos....
BWW Review: LOHENGRIN, Royal Opera House
Richard Wagner’s Lohengrin may be famous for introducing the tune of “Here Comes The Bride” to the world but there’s much more here in this stirring tale. David Alden’s bold production debuted in 2018 to critical fanfare and now returns to the Royal Opera House with some excellent leads a...
BWW Review: BONNIE & CLYDE, Arts Theatre
Stop the press! The most renowned victims of the romanticisation of violence have taken up residence in London. The Arts theatre - former home of the worldwide hit Six - is now housing the West End debut of Bonnie and Clyde....

BWW Review: SCANDALTOWN, Lyric Hammersmith
And then there were three. The last Mike Bartlett-penned show has opened in London. Scandaltown joins Marianne Elliott’s revival of Cock and the Trumpian drama The 47th spearheaded by Bertie Carvel under Ruper Goold. Directed by Rachel O’Riordan, this one’s a cheeky, boisterous contemporary co...
BWW Review: THE PARADIS FILES, Southbank Centre
Graeae aims to address the problem of disabled representation by spotlighting the so-called 'Blind Enchantress' Maria Theresia von Paradis, and also to make the theatre a truly inclusive place for the disabled community....

BWW Review: ZORRO THE MUSICAL, Charing Cross Theatre
Zorro the Musical has lived many lives before its latest engagement at the Charing Cross Theatre. From the West End Production of 2008-09 to this production’s first outing at the Hope Mill Theatre in Manchester, which was cruelly cut short just two previews in by the pandemic. It bursts into its n...
