Review: PERICLES, Swan Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon
by Debbie Gilpin - August 08, 2024
'‘Tis time to fear when tyrants seems to kiss.” It’s true that most of Shakespeare’s most well-known works remain perpetually relevant, particularly in the difficult times that continue to afflict populations worldwide, but sometimes it’s worth shuffling the pack and pulling out a lesser played work. The thing with geniuses like Shakespeare is that their less popular output is often just as good as the stuff that everyone’s heard of. Enter Tamara Harvey and her production of Pericles, Prince of Tyre.

Review: BBC PROMS: PROM 24: PURCELL'S THE FAIRY QUEEN, Royal Albert Hall
by Debbie Gilpin - August 07, 2024
During the Restoration and beyond, there were numerous attempts at rewriting Shakespeare - one famous example being Romeo and Juliet changing to a happy ending. His work has also been adapted for slightly different kinds of staging, which is evident in Henry Purcell’s operatic composition; The Fairy Queen is in fact a musical and slightly alternative view of A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Ahead of Prom 68 (Britten’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream), Les Arts Florissants and Compagnie Käfig combined to present their interpretation of Purcell’s piece, with Paul Agnew conducting.

Review: FIDDLER ON THE ROOF, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - August 07, 2024
The production embraces Jewish representation and celebrates their religious rituals with refreshing openness. From Tevye’s personal relationship with God to the customs of his culture, there’s pride in Fein’s take. He imbues it with tradition, lifting the narrative to a universal story of love and sacrifice; the outdated strands of ideas end up cementing an emotive snapshot of a past that’s ruthlessly and constantly repeating somewhere. Charming, heart-rending, and utterly gorgeous, this is the revival of Fiddler.

Review: WHEN IT HAPPENS TO YOU, Park Theatre
by Josh Maughan - August 07, 2024
When I walked out of When It Happens to You, all I wanted to do was hug my sisters. Part of me had forgotten I had seen a show, the other part couldn’t stop thinking about the last twenty minutes of it. That’s the sign of good theatre. Theatre that lights a fire underneath you, theatre that gets inside your head – such a reaction can only come from something truly impactful.
