BWW Review: LOVE FROM A STRANGER, Theatre Royal, Glasgow
Whilst the 1930s may be almost a century behind us, the suspense that this aged text brings rivals that of any psychological thriller on the silver screen these days.
BWW Review: THE TEMPEST, St Paul's Church
Iris Theatre's The Tempest at St Paul's Church is an outdoor promenade production of one of Shakespeare's great comedies, though it is fairly traditional in every other way.

Britten's celebrated opera re-imagined for a summer evening pregnant with ill-resolved threat.
BWW Review: LE GATEAU CHOCOLAT & JONNY WOO: A NIGHT AT THE MUSICALS, Soho Theatre
There isn't much I can say apart from this is a truly wonderful night.
BWW: KISS ME, KATE, London Coliseum
Cole Porter's 1948 love letter to showbiCole Porter's 1948 love letter to showbiz is brilliantly served by Opera North's big, bold and bawdy production - both soaringly romantic and packed with meta winks.
BWW Review: DAISY PULLS IT OFF, Charing Cross Theatre
The 80s West End hit is revived by the actor-musicians of the graduating class of Guildford School of Acting in a production that never quite settles on a tone that fits 2018 audiences' sensibilities.

BWW Review: BEIRUT, Park Theatre

BWW Review: HOUSE OF BROADWAY, Live at Zedel
Musical fans love a good 'songs from the shows' cabaret and House of Broadway present a polished evening packed with heart and humour as they share songs old and new from the musical theatre canon.
BWW Review: EMMA KINGSTON, Live at Zedel
Emma Kingston is a very busy woman at the moment: just last week she returned from the Hong Kong stint of the Evita world tour where she currently stars as the First Lady of Argentina, Eva Peron.
BWW Review: LEGALLY BLONDE, New Wimbledon Theatre
In this time of endless Brexit questions, the NHS in crisis and the world generally seeming to be going to hell in a handcart, a lighthearted and exuberant show like Legally Blonde is sometimes the perfect antidote.
Book Review: TWENTY THEATRES TO SEE BEFORE YOU DIE, Amber Massie-Blomfield
From a Victorian toilet to haunted venues, Amber Massie-Blomfield takes her readers on a journey around the country visiting picturesque theatres in her descriptive and curiously entertaining Twenty Theatres to See Before You Die.

After a staggering 60 years in the business, theatre producer Paul Elliott recently announced that he will be retiring from his company, Paul Elliott Ltd.
BWW Review: AN OCTOROON, National Theatre
Ned Bennett's production is a gruelling watch, and has contained within it many moments that shock, enlighten, provoke and surprise.

BWW Review: THE PRIME OF MISS JEAN BRODIE, Donmar Warehouse
The bells, the bells! They're ringing out at the Donmar - ushering girls into class, and nuns into cloister.
BWW Review: THE SEAGULL, Lion and Unicorn Theatre
A curious tone in this bold adaptation that doesn't get everything right, but it's Chekhov, so there's more than enough to enjoy!
