Review: THE LESSON, Southwark Playhouse
by Aliya Al-Hassan - July 02, 2022
A young woman appears at the home of a professor to be tutored for some exams. The premise of The Lesson is simple enough, but as this play comes from the pen of Eugène Ionesco, the master of French absurdist theatre, nothing is ever that simple. Max Lewendel’s returning production is funny, absurd and ultimately chilling.
Review: 9 CIRCLES, Park Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - July 02, 2022
Dante Alighieri built his idea of hell as a colossal conical structure that opens up underneath Jerusalem and reaches the centre of the Earth. He makes his descent steadily, accompanied by Virgil. The further away from Jerusalem, the further away from God and goodness. A stone’s throw from Jerusalem, Iraq and what it represents in the American cultural portfolio is ravaged by conflict. A young soldier puts up a fight before he is honourably discharged. A cold-blooded killer who’s completely unbothered by having to make his way through piles of corpses, he is everything the States want in their ranks.

Review: BEAUTY AND THE BEAST, The London Palladium
by Cindy Marcolina - July 01, 2022
The tale as old as time returns to the West End. The 1991 animated film is doubtlessly one of the most beloved out of the Disney catalogue and saw a number of live-action films of varied quality developed over the years. Now, its musical adaptation takes over the Palladium in a grand spectacle directed and choreographed by Matt West. It’s big, it’s theatrical, it’s magical.
