Review: THE SILVER CORD, Finborough Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - September 06, 2024
There is a sharply observed and darkly comedic play inside this production, but it is stymied by overlong, melodramatic monologues and meandering subjects.

Review: VITAMIN D, Soho Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - September 06, 2024
Having to move back with your parents after a failed marriage is raising all types of questions that Larki can’t or doesn’t want to answer. Aunties and fake friends are all up in her business while her life is crumbling around her. Saher Shah’s playwriting debut is a bittersweet look into individual reinvention and the disappointment that comes with certain social conventions.

Review: FRANK'S CLOSET, Wilton's Music Hall
by Michael Higgs - September 06, 2024
Frank’s Closet is a paean to queerness. With a variety of beautifully performed earworms and a never–ending stream of jokes, it’s a tongue–in–cheek show that may not glitter with a steamy plot, but still enchants with its musical numbers.

Review: BBC PROMS: PROM 58 – MÄKELÄ CONDUCTS SYMPHONIE FANTASTIQUE, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - September 04, 2024
“Can you tell me what it is, this capacity for emotion, this force of suffering that is wearing me out?” The focal point of Prom 58 was Hector Berlioz’s 49-minute “Episode in the Life of an Artist”, his Symphonie fantastique; written while he was still in his twenties and at the mercy of his infatuation with Harriet Smithson (who he had seen play Ophelia in Hamlet), it is a colourful and evocative tour de force. It’s also a piece that the Orchestre de Paris knows inside out.
