Review: JOE KENT-WALTERS IS FRANKIE MONROE: LIVE!!!, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - December 02, 2024
Joe Kent-Walters is Frankie Monroe: LIVE!!! begins in quite the spooky manner, with Kent-Walters slowly making his way around the stage, shrouded in darkness, creepily whispering, “Here comes Frankie . . .” The show, directed by Jonathan Oldfield, brings audience members into The Misty Moon, a working men’s club in Rotherham that also just happens to double as a portal to hell.

Review: EXPENDABLE, Royal Court Theatre
by Katie Kirkpatrick - December 01, 2024
Expendable, written by Emteaz Hussain, all takes place in a family kitchen. As the play begins, we meet Zara (Avita Jay) – a Pakistani mother living in northern England – as she chops onions. This environment of domestic familiarity is quickly disturbed by a knock on the door, and a buzz of tension and fear descends on the scene. From this starting point, the show develops into a morally complex examination of the intersection of sexism and racism in British Muslim communities.

Interview: 'I've Always Hated the Play': Tracy-Ann Oberman on Antisemitism, Changing Attitudes and Adapting THE MERCHANT OF VENICE 1936
by Kat Mokrynski - November 29, 2024
After a successful run at the Criterion Theatre earlier this year, The Merchant of Venice 1936, an adaptation of Shakespeare’s work by Brigid Larmour and Tracy-Ann Oberman, with Oberman starring as a female version of the Jewish moneylender, Shylock. Larmour and Oberman have moved the setting to London in the 1930s, when fascism was on the rise with Oswald Mosley and his Blackshirts, culminating in the Battle of Cable Street on 4 October 1936.

Review: ONE MAN MUSICAL, Soho Theatre
by Kat Mokrynski - November 29, 2024
Written by comedy duo Flo & Joan and directed by Georgie Straight, One Man Musical has quite the simple description - an “original one-man musical about a very renowned gentleman.” This isn’t going to be a one man musical about just any ordinary man. Instead, we’re going to be taking a peek into the mind of one of the world’s most (in)famous musical theatre giants - Andrew Lloyd Webber.

Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, National Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - November 29, 2024
This is an Earnest for a new generation, Bridgertonian in its approach and just brat enough. Everybody is a little gay. Everybody is incredibly horny. Everybody has the smoothest comeback. Webster forgoes any sanctimony with sacrilegious extravagance. Gorgeously anachronistic costumes by Rae Smith splash on Smith’s own set design, shaking up the comedy of manners conventions in favour of a more original take.
