BWW Review: INDECENT PROPOSAL, Southwark Playhouse
A strange decision to return to a novel very much of its time and place appears even stranger after seeing the show.

BWW Review: WHAT'S NEW, PUSSYCAT?, Birmingham Rep
We were well and truly transported back to the Swinging Sixties thanks to What's New, Pussycat?, a brand-new musical comedy featuring the music of the Welsh wonder that is Sir Tom Jones.
BWW Review: HMS PINAFORE, London Coliseum
Not for the purists but beautiful to behold, this Pinafore updates the humour while respecting the music.

Hampstead Theatre gets back on its feet properly and reopens at full capacity bringing Stockard Channing back on stage, who was last on stage in London at Trafalgar Studios in 2017.
BWW Review: THE MAGICIAN'S ELEPHANT, Royal Shakespeare Theatre
Whilst the RSC are renowned for their world-class Shakespeare productions, they have also turned their hand to many successful musical adaptations over the years - most recently the global phenomenon Matilda the Musical, but Les Miserables, Carrie the Musical and many others also originated with
BWW Review: OLD BRIDGE, Bush Theatre
Igor Memic's Papatango Award winner introduces us to four compelling characters and reminds us of the brutality of war
BWW Review: THE DRESSER, Richmond Theatre
In the right hands, Ronald Harwood’s Olivier award-nominated tragicomedy The Dresser is poignant, hilarious and also heart-breaking.
BWW Review: MICHAEL FEINSTEIN, St George's Bristol
The Great American Songbook is a constantly evolving canon that arguably spans almost 100 years of music.

“Emancipate yourselves from mental slavery.
BWW Review: VALUE ENGINEERING SCENES FROM THE GRENFELL INQUIRY, The Tabernacle
Richard Norton-Taylor and Nicholas Kent have fashioned a play from statements at the Grenfell Inquiry that leads a horrified audience to specific and more general conclusions and the siren call that 'this must never happen again'.
BWW Review: 9 TO 5 THE MUSICAL, New Wimbledon Theatre
Is there anyone in the world who doesn’t love Dolly Parton? Even country music-haters know her tunes and appreciate her philanthropy.
BWW Review: BROKEN LAD, Arcola Theatre
This new play raises interesting questions about father-son relationships in a world in which middle-aged men can struggle to find a role, but its lack of detail prevents its potential being realised fully
BWW Review: LOVE AND OTHER ACTS OF VIOLENCE, Donmar Warehouse
Love and Other Acts of Violence is a pretty dark and uneasy evening.
BWW Review: DRACULA: THE UNTOLD STORY, Liverpool Playhouse
One would assume that beyond the original novel and the 200+ films made in his honour, there is little more to explore surrounding the lore of Bram Stoker's most iconic villain.
