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.
BWW Review: A PRINCESS UNDONE, Park Theatre
Princess Margaret brought to life by Felicity Dean in a production that promises more than it delivers about a tragic figure born a generation too early to change the Royal Family.
BWW Review: HAROLD AND MAUDE, Charing Cross Theatre
You wouldn't expect that a play that opens with one of the leads dramatically faking his own suicide would be delightfully funny and yet Harold and Maude at the Charing Cross Theatre is just that.
BWW Review: THE WEIR, Richmond Theatre
In essence, there is not much to Conor McPherson's intimate play; four men drink in a remote Irish pub, entertain a female newcomer with ghost stories and then leave.

BWW Review: FROZEN, Theatre Royal Haymarket
No, it's not that Frozen - although the immortal words 'Let it go' do appear in the second half.
BWW Review: JUBILEE, Lyric Hammersmith
Jubilee is an event that fucks with every theatrical convention; but it also provokes its audience in the most important way.
BWW Review: NAPOLEON DISROBED, Arcola Theatre

BWW Review: STRANGERS ON A TRAIN, Richmond Theatre
Strangers On A Train was a highly successful, taut thriller written by Patricia Highsmith in 1950.
BWW Review: THE YORK REALIST, Donmar Warehouse
In the Donmar Warehouse's last season, Knives in Hens split opinion in a highly stylised and surreal production.
BWW Review: THE VAGINA DIALOGUES, Waterloo East Theatre
"Hi, welcome to the feminist" The Volvas say before embarking in an irreverent and unabashedly in-your-face rollercoaster of a piece.
BWW Review: IOLANTHE, London Coliseum
Originally intended as a stinging satire on Victorian politics and the House of Lords in particular, Gilbert and Sullivan's supremely silly comic opera Iolanthe is in fine form as it returns to the Coliseum.

'It just seems to be a thing that we do, this incomprehensible violence thing.

BWW Review: RITA, SUE AND BOB TOO, Citizens Theatre, Glasgow
Best friends Rita and Sue get a lift home from married Bob after babysitting his kids.
BWW Review: DR JEKYLL & MR HYDE, Rose Theatre
Robert Louis Stevenson's gothic thriller has had such an impact on the public psyche that a reference to 'Jekyll and Hyde' is universally known as referring to a person with a dual personality.
BWW Review: CARMEN 1808, Union Theatre
Liberties have been taken with Bizet's opera, but none are diabolical, and what emerges is something which is sometimes less and sometimes more than its inspiration.
