BWW Review: THE DOG BENEATH THE SKIN, Jermyn Street Theatre
Proud Haddock presents The Dog Beneath the Skin, which concludes Jermyn Street Theatre's Scandal season.
BWW Review: LOVE FROM A STRANGER, Royal and Derngate
Agatha Christie and Frank Vosper's Love from a Stranger returns to the stage in this collaboration between Royal and Derngate and Firey Angel.
BWW Review: THE CHERRY ORCHARD, Bristol Old Vic
The Bristol Old Vic has opened it's 'Year of Change' in spectacular fashion in this riveting new translation of Chekhov's final play The Cherry Orchard.
BWW Review: HAMLET, Hackney Empire
'Hamlet, Prince of Denmark!' the announcement at Wittenberg's graduation ceremony is barely made that beating drums accompany Hamlet Senior's glass hearse across the stage while Gertrude and Claudius look down woefully.
BWW Review: CRAZY FOR YOU, New Wimbledon Theatre
The UK tour of Gershwin musical Crazy for You has reached its London leg, and is still in fine, energetic form.
BWW Review: SUMMER AND SMOKE, Almeida Theatre
Bold re-imagining of an early Tennessee Williams play that gives its themes a universality in a uniquely theatrical experience.
BWW Review: CIRCLE MIRROR TRANSFORMATION, Manchester HOME
Annie Baker's 2014 Pulitzer Prize-winning play, Circle Mirror Transformation, transports you to a studio in a community centre in Vermont.
BWW Review: CORPUS CHRISTI, Arcola Theatre
This is a story that the majority of us will know.
BWW Review: MACBETH, National Theatre
We begin and end with a grisly decapitation.
BWW Review: GOOD GIRL, Trafalgar Studios
After successful runs at Edinburgh Fringe and Vault Festival, Naomi Sheldon brings Good Girl to Trafalgar Studios.
BWW Review: PIPPIN, Southwark Playhouse
Technical shortcomings and an incoherent book overpower a show with a fine pedigree and good tunes.
BWW Review: HAIRSPRAY, Bristol Hippodrome
Setting a musical in 1960s Baltimore against a backdrop of increasing racial tension between white and black American's doesn't exactly scream feelgood musical.
BWW Review: THE GAME OF LOVE & CHAI, Tara Arts Theatre
Classic French farce gets a Bollywood makeover for the 21st century in Nigel Planer's enjoyable adaptation of Marivaux's comedy.
BWW Review: THE BEST MAN, Playhouse Theatre
Gore Vidal's 1960 political play The Best Man documents the behind-the-scenes machinations of a fictional Presidential nomination.
BWW Review: FANNY AND ALEXANDER, Old Vic
Fairy tales don't just have to be for children, and Max Webster's production proves it's still possible to get our imaginations sparked.
Book Review: UNMASKED, Andrew Lloyd Webber
In the prologue of his new memoir, Unmasked, Andrew Lloyd Webber states, "Autobiographies are by definition self-serving and mine is no exception".
BWW Review: HILDA AND VIRGINIA, Jermyn Street Theatre
Jermyn Street Theatre continues their pursuit of strong women presenting Maureen Duffy's A Nightingale in Bloomsbury Square and The Choice as a double bill directed by Natasha Rickman.
BWW Review: FOUL PAGES, The Hope Theatre
The Hope Theatre's own Artistic Director, Matthew Parker, presents the world premiere of Robin Hooper's Foul Pages in a frenzy of neck ruffs paired with leather all wrapped up in homosexual subtext.
BWW Review: MACBETH, Wilton's Music Hall
Macbeth delivered by dancers in a unique space, beautifully lit, creating an electrifying theatrical experience.
BWW Review: CURTAINS, Rose Theatre
It is Ida's 86th birthday, but it's a milestone she would rather have not reached.
BWW Review: TRUST, Gate Theatre
Translated by Maja Zade, Falk Richter's text is an unbalancing assault on capitalism, and a scrutiny of the most basic human emotion - love.
BWW Review: MACBETH, Tobacco Factory Theatres
There were more than a few raised eyebrows when the all new Factory Company from Tobacco Factory Theatres announced it's first play would be a Shakespeare.
BWW Review: FROST/NIXON, Crucible, Sheffield
A timely revival of Peter Morgan's play about David Frost's interviews with Richard Nixon is beautifully staged and powerfully acted.
BWW Review: FINE AND DANDY / THE CLUEDO CLUB KILLINGS, Arcola Theatre
The Arcola Queer Collective present two new works as part of their Creative Disruption season.
