by Aliya Al-Hassan - October 31, 2024

Review: LEGACY, Royal Ballet and Opera
by Matthew Paluch - October 31, 2024
It’s interesting to consider that ballet began its development in the mid 16th century, however it wasn't until around 400 years later that BIPOC (American) dancers Maria Tallchief, Raven Wilkinson and Arthur Mitchell, first joined ballet companies.

Review: BARCELONA, Duke of York's Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - October 31, 2024
A couple crash through the door of a Barcelona apartment in a passionate embrace, but this ardour quickly cools as cultural and personal clashes take over. Collins and Morte are both impressively natural on stage, but without their billing, it is highly doubtful this play would have made it to the West End.

Review: THE BUDDHA OF SUBURBIA, Barbican Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - October 30, 2024
'I’ve seen it before, and I’ll see it again… Just little bits of history repeating.” This Shirley Bassey vocal may not feature on the soundtrack of this stage version of The Buddha of Suburbia, but you can’t help but bring it to mind as you watch events unfold: strikes, political turmoil, far right aggression - staples of the 1970s, but all too familiar to modern audiences.
