Following on from a hugely successful run at Chichester, Sir Ian McKellen is back in the title role of King Lear, in the same theatre in which he made his West End debut in 1964.
BWW Review: THE RAPE OF LUCRETIA, Arcola Theatre
A demanding, but rewarding, production of Britten's opera about ancient Rome, with plenty of lessons for today.
BWW Review: EXIT THE KING, National Theatre
Exit the King at the National Theatre has a beautiful design and wonderful performances from some of the cast, but it ultimately falls flat.

After being turned into a film, Patrick Ness' award-winning novel A Monster Calls becomes a visceral stage play.

Ever since John Waters introduced us to Tracy Turnblad and co in his cult 1988 film, audiences have come to expect big voices, big dance numbers and even bigger hair.
CD Review: BAT OUT OF HELL Original Cast Recording
Rock musical Bat Out of Hell had its debut performance in Manchester in 2017.

Fringe festivals can be places where performances are to be endured, rather than enjoyed.

To present the world premiere of a re-discovered play written by Great War veteran and poet Robert Graves in the centenary year of the First World War is something of a coup for the tiny Finborough Theatre.
