Review: THE SLEEPING BEAUTY, Royal Albert Hall
English National Ballet close their season, as has become tradition, at London’s glorious (but not especially well air conditioned) Royal Albert Hall. They have been touring Sir Kenneth MacMillan’s The Sleeping Beauty for the last few months and this handful of performances mark the finale. …
Review: PRIDE, National Theatre
In a Britain more divided than ever, this message of solidarity couldn’t have come at a better time. Pride feels on the brink of being the next big thing – and how glorious that the next big British musical is so proudly and fiercely queer and working class.…
Review: VENUS & ADONIS, Barbican Theatre
Putting on something which is so sexy, sensuous and deeply erotic in the middle of a heatwave could be asking for trouble, yet this production of Shakespeare’s Venus & Adonis justifies the gamble, turning the Barbican’s The Pit into a crucible of raw, mythological desire.…
Review: CYRANO DE BERGERAC, Starring Adrian Lester, Noël Coward Theatre
Edmond Rostand’s classic comes back to the West End with a new adaptation by Simon Evans and Debris Stevenson. This is a drastically different approach from the last time we saw Cyrano on a commercial stage. If Jamie Llloyd redefined the story in 2019, Evans grounds it back to its roots in an open…
Review: THE TRUTH, Apollo Theatre

Review: SINATRA THE MUSICAL, Aldwych Theatre
The stories about Francis Albert Sinatra are endless. Two decades before Beatlemania hit the States, thousands of girls queued around the block so they could see the short, skinny kid from Hoboken sing while they cried, screamed and fainted. He had a thick New Jersey accent and a thin skin, punching…
Review: HOT MESS, The Other Palace
Hot Mess is an exciting piece of new theatre, performed with heart and charm.…
Review: TURANDOT, Opera Holland Park
Less Orientalism, and less passion too, but the music sustains…
Review: STING, Young Vic
The protagonist of Sting, a postdoctoral student named Ash, lives in a divided world. Half of the set is taken up by the flat she shares with her boyfriend Dom, and the other half by the archive where she works as an assistant to researcher Lily, whose academic work focuses on historical accusations…
