Eugene O'Neill's classic play is beautifully staged in this evocative production at the Crucible Theatre.
BWW Review: THE WIPERS TIMES, Richmond Theatre
Amid the horrors of the First World War, The Wipers Times is the unlikely, but true, story of when two officers found a printing press in the bombed out remains of Ypres (Wipers was the soldier's nickname for the town) and decided to produce a satirical paper to lift the spirits of the men.
BWW Review: LE GRAND MORT, Trafalgar Studios
Sex and death often go hand in hand.
BWW Review: OF KITH AND KIN, Crucible Studio, Sheffield

BWW Review: RAMONA TELLS JIM, Bush Theatre

New Orleans comes to Marble Arch via this energetic revival of Clarke Peters' 1990 tribute to 'The King of the Jukebox', swing and blues bandleader Louis Jordan.
BWW Review: THE CARETAKER, Bristol Old Vic
Crafting The Caretaker (or indeed any Pinter) off the page takes a great deal of nuance and skill.
