Review: THE DUCHESS OF MALFI, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
by Debbie Gilpin - March 01, 2024
“Sometimes the Devil doth preach.” In a winter season that has arguably gone too light on Shakespeare, it is nonetheless fitting that the final production is a brand new version of John Webster’s bloody tragedy. Dominic Dromgoole’s production opened the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse ten years ago, and now Rachel Bagshaw is on board to direct it on its return to the replica Jacobean theatre.

Review: THE FLYING DUTCHMAN, Royal Opera House
by Michael Higgs - March 01, 2024
Albery’s revival of his Flying Dutchman simply works: with a great cast and a smooth atmosphere created by a dreamlike ship-inspired set, it all builds towards a Gesamtkunstwerk that Wagner might have enjoyed himself. A great success, all around.

Review: CASTLE OF JOY, Barbican
by Kit Bromovsky - February 29, 2024
In the dimly lit theatre, the audience is transported into the mysterious world of Castle of Joy a production by Det Ferösche Compagnie, a Faroese theatre company. Directed and written by the multi-talented Búi Dam, with Kristina Sørensen Ougaard leading the cast, this experience is as enigmatic as it is haunting.

Review: THE MAGIC FLUTE, London Coliseum
by Alexander Cohen - February 29, 2024
It’s odd to watch an opera where the actual opera is an afterthought. At least that’s how it feels watching Simon McBurney’s The Magic Flute. His revival production sizzles with circus spectacle, high tech pageantry, and boundary breaking chutzpah. But underneath it all you’ll be hard pressed to find the warmth of a beating heart.

Review: IKECHUKWU UFOMADU: AMUSEMENTS, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - February 29, 2024
Walking into the Soho Theatre for Amusements, you are greeted by jazz music, making the space feel more like a cabaret than a house of comedy. Indeed, when Ufomadu walks onto the stage, he doesn't fit the comedian vibe - he doesn't introduce himself from behind the curtains, instead wandering up to the microphone and sipping tea from a mug.
