Guest Blog: Director Katharine Farmer on Directing Different Perspectives of Trauma and Healing in 23.5 HOURS at the Park Theatre
by Guest Author - September 02, 2024
As a director, I've had the unique experience of working on two powerful plays by Carey Crim that explore the aftermath of sexual abuse from starkly different angles. As I prepare for the European premiere of 23.5 Hours at Park Theatre, I'd like to share some insights into the challenges and revelations that come with bringing these contrasting perspectives to life on stage, and why I was drawn to telling both stories.

Review: BBC PROMS: PROM 54: BEETHOVEN FOR THREE, Royal Albert Hall
by Kat Mokrynski - September 02, 2024
With soloists Leonidas Kavakos, Emmanuel Ax and Yo-Yo Ma on violin, piano and cello respectively coming together to form a mighty trio of classical musicians, audiences are in for a treat, regardless of what is being played. Indeed, I found myself thinking that the musicians could have just performed scales and I would have been left satisfied.

Review: G, Royal Court Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - September 01, 2024
Magical realism is hard to come by in the theatre. Playwright Tife Kusoro dips into urban legends and creepypasta to deliver a fascinating coming-of-age piece. With stunning direction by Monique Touko, G is a brilliant supernatural cautionary tale - a description that’s, admittedly, not entirely accurate nor comprehensive of everything the play is. Kusoro infuses her work with surrealism and harsh socio-political critique, pure banter and sheer terror. It’s young and fresh and ingenuously subversive. It’s a comic thriller, but also an unsettling allegory and a story about the power of friendship and loyalty. Kusoro is definitely onto something.
