Review: TATTY MACLEOD: FUGUE, Soho Theatre

Review: THE GOOD JOHN PROCTOR, Jermyn Street Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - January 12, 2024
Betty Parris and Abigail Williams’ lives are ruled by suspicion and spiritual insulation, where even playing is considered a sin. Everything changes when the latter starts working on John Proctor’s farm. Part of Jermyn Street Theatre’s Footprints Festival, The Good John Proctor bookends The Crucible, taking all its themes and putting them under the lenses of childhood. Regrettably, it’s underwhelming, muddled, and way too long for what it is.

Review: THE DRIFTERS GIRL, Bristol Hippodrome
by Tim Wright - January 11, 2024
It’s hard to tell the entire story of The Drifters. Not least because the group became a revolving door of something like 60 different members over the decades. And therein lies the problem for The Drifters Girl – it tries to take on the whole story, mainly from the perspective of their trailblazing African American manager Faye Treadwell.
