Guest Blog: Shaun McKenna and Lin Coghlan on Adapting THE FORSYTE SAGA at the Park Theatre
by Guest Author - October 03, 2024
John Galsworthy’s classic story The Forsyte Saga has been newly dramatised for the stage in two parts for the Park Theatre, bringing the unheard female voices to the fore for the first time. Spanning 40 years from the last gasp of the Victorian age to the beginning of the roaring 1920s, this is an epic tale of sex, money and power.

Review: WHITE RABBIT RED RABBIT, @sohoplace
by Mica Blackwell - October 03, 2024
Beyond its simple gimmick, White Rabbit Red Rabbit remains a refreshingly authentic piece of theatre in a time when even the most improvised works have an element of rehearsal.

Review: A TUPPERWARE OF ASHES, National Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - October 03, 2024
'The tempest in my mind doth from my senses take all feeling else, save what beats there. Filial ingratitude!' Queenie Mukherjee has always been the Bengali matriarch to end all Bengali matriarchs, except recently her children have started to notice the odd slip: a burnt pan here, a wrong date there. She can’t see anything wrong, but reluctantly attends a doctor’s appointment anyway - and the resulting diagnosis of early onset Alzheimer’s proves even harder for her to accept. Only hallucinations of her late husband, Ameet, can provide her with some comfort.

Review: STONES IN HIS POCKETS, Salisbury Playhouse
by Cheryl Markosky - October 03, 2024
The Irish are renowned for good story telling. From James Joyce, Oscar Wilde, Samuel Beckett and George Bernard Shaw, to simply a good yarn over a pint in a pub. In a long line of cracking good tales, you couldn't get much better than the new immersive revival of Marie Jones' tragicomedy Stones in His Pockets.

Review: INCARNATION - MARIA CARUSO, Theatre Royal Drury Lane
by Matthew Paluch - October 03, 2024
One person shows aren't easy things to do, and the Theatre Royal Drury Lane is a big space to fill, so Maria Caruso has all the cards stacked against her for her new solo performance Incarnation.

Review: LOOK BACK IN ANGER, Almeida Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - October 02, 2024
If Roots is the demure first part of the Almeida’s “Angry and Young” season, Look Back in Anger is the explosive finale. How could it not be when the human flamethrower Jimmy Porter is the burning star at the centre of its orbit?

Review: ROOTS, Almeida Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - October 02, 2024
The Almeida’s ”Angry and Young” season is a stroke of curatorial brilliance. Arnold Wesker’s 1958 Roots and John Osborne’s 1956 Look back in Anger face off, a roaring lion in one corner, a growling tiger in the other.

Review: REDLANDS, Chichester Festival Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - October 01, 2024
'The quality of mercy is not strained; it droppeth as the gentle rain from heaven upon the place beneath.' Charlotte Jones’ new play delves into a curious pocket of showbiz history, with Michael Havers QC at the centre of it all. Fresh from a momentous victory, he is personally selected by The Rolling Stones’ manager Allen Klein to defend Mick Jagger and Keith Richards in their upcoming trial - and all the while, his teenage son Nigel is trying to work out how to break the news that he doesn’t want to go into the law, he’d much rather be an actor.
