BWW Review: BLACK MEN WALKING, Royal Court
Each first Saturday of every month, Thomas, Richard and Matthew walk.
BWW Review: THE LADY WITH A DOG, Tabard Theatre
A splendid production that shifts the action from Chekhov's original short story into 1920s Britain to add layers of meaning and depth to both the themes and characters - fringe theatre at its best.

Kiss of the Spider Woman has taken the shape of a novel, a play, a film, a musical, and is now being adapted for the stage again by José Rivera and Allan Baker.
BWW Review: MISTY, Bush Theatre
No matter where we are, our surroundings are a living consequence of the decisions we make.

Phil Willmott's The Cherry Orchard picks up Chekhov's action and moves it forward a decade or so to 1917, when the balance of power in Russia was tilted rather differently.
