Review: ALCINA, Royal Ballet & Opera

Review: ALCINA, Royal Ballet & Opera

by Franco Milazzo · September 17, 2026

Returning to Covent Garden for the first time since it waltzed off with an Olivier in 2022, Richard Jones’ Alcina is ravishing to look at, a joy to hear and its clever design motifs still stand out from the crowd.…

Review: JILL'S TUPPERWARE PARTY, Underbelly Boulevard Soho

Review: JILL'S TUPPERWARE PARTY, Underbelly Boulevard Soho

by Franco Milazzo · September 16, 2026

There's an indecently good chance that you will walk out of Jill's Tupperware Party very different to how you came in.

Review: SALTY BRINE: HOW STRANGE IT IS, Soho Theatre

Review: SALTY BRINE: HOW STRANGE IT IS, Soho Theatre

by Franco Milazzo · September 15, 2026

Anne Frank. Jeff Mangum. And Salty Brine. Maybe especially Salty Brine. If the audience takes one thing away from this tremendous show, it is that one individual can illuminate an entire world.…

Review: DARKLING, Bush Theatre

Review: DARKLING, Bush Theatre

by Cindy Marcolina · September 16, 2026

It’s the mid-80s and India is changing. A young girl is growing up surrounded by nature under a blue sky until the landscape starts to transform.

“It’s tradition, Oliver. Traditions are important”, so says Dawn in the Inside No. 9 episode “Last Night of the Proms”, explaining the actions of the Prommers during the Fantasia on British Sea-Songs section of the concert to her teenage nephew. Anyone at the Royal Albert Hall (or watching…

Review: MAN TO MAN, Royal Court

Review: MAN TO MAN, Royal Court

by Franco Milazzo · September 13, 2026

Those worrying that Tilda Swinton — the patron saint of Sunday afternoon arthouse movies and performance art best experienced through reviews — has gone mainstream should make themselves a cup of chamomile tea and relax. There are likely very few famous actors (never mind Oscar winners) queuing …

Review: BBC PROMS: STRAUSS’S ‘FOUR LAST SONGS’, Royal Albert Hall

Review: BBC PROMS: STRAUSS’S ‘FOUR LAST SONGS’, Royal Albert Hall

by Debbie Gilpin · September 12, 2026

“It is difficult composing endings. Beethoven and Wagner could do it. Only great composers can do it. I can do it too.” It wasn’t just Richard Strauss’s death-embracing 'Four Last Songs' which fit this theme in the BBC Scottish Symphony Orchestra’s final Prom of the season, as Franz Schube…
