by Alexander Cohen - December 13, 2023
The National Theatre somewhat mutedly celebrated its 60th anniversary this year. There was ostensibly little fanfare. No public flotillas, no audiences with royal patrons or forty-one gun salutes.

Review: COLD WAR, Almeida Theatre
by Alexander Cohen - December 13, 2023
