Review: JERKER, Waterloo East
An early tableau in Robert Chesley’s 1986 play Jerker involves a character masturbating to a generic message on his answering machine. It’s not the last masturbation scene in the play – which was once the subject of an obscenity-related censorship attempt on Californian radio – nor is it the…
Review: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW: A KINKY RETELLING, Bread And Roses Theatre

Review: TRU, Starring Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Menier Chocolate Factory
In 1975, Breakfast at Tiffany’s author Truman Capote became a social pariah overnight, after his public betrayal of the group of New York socialites known as the “Swans”. Tru, Jay Presson Allen’s 1989 dramatisation of the incident, locks us in the New Journalism pioneer’s living room in th…
