BWW Review: MANON, London Coliseum
by Aliya Al-Hassan on January 18, 2019 in UK / West End Manon is not a ballet for the #MeToo era. The story follows Manon as she falls in love with Des Grieux, a poor student. She is, essentially, pimped out by her brother to become the mistress of wealthy aristocrat Monsieur GM. Swayed by the material world of gambling and courtesans, we see Manon falling for the fur coats and jewellery, but it is when she wants to follow her heart and escape with her lover, things go dramatically wrong. She is arrested then raped by a brutal jailer and dies. It is not a tale of female emancipation and not even of the triumph of good over evil. (more...)

CHEATING DEATH Comes to The Cockpit
by BWW News Desk on January 16, 2019 in UK / West End Waking up in a coffin is a dreaded nightmare for most. Waking up in a coffin at your own funeral to find your girlfriend and her new lover (who she cheated on you with) planning to move into the flat you shared (that, by the way, you own) is probably worse.

BWW Review: WALTZ OF THE HOMMELETTES, Barbican Centre
by Louis Train on January 16, 2019 in UK / West End A bird, a bunny, and a baby; a shoemaker and a clock and a critter on a walk.

BWW Review: TOTEM, Royal Albert Hall
by Aliya Al-Hassan on January 17, 2019 in UK / West End It is easy to be wowed by Cirque du Soleil; the acts themselves are often utterly thrilling and defy any expectations of human strength, dexterity and flexibility.
