Pinter at Pinter 7 review ****

Pinter at Pinter Seven: A Slight Ache/The Dumb Waiter Harold Pinter Theatre, 7th February 2019 Daniel John Dyer, landlord of the Queen Vic, go to cinematic hardman, fan of West Ham and coke, protege of Harold Pinter and now some-time political sage. There is his youthful mug. Say what you…

Detroit at the Guildhall School review ****

Detroit Guildhall School, Milton Court Theatre, 5th February 2019 The Tourist has remarked before on the benefits of checking out the productions staged at Britain’s major theatre schools.

Rosenbaum’s Rescue at the Park Theatre review ***

Rosenbaum’s Rescue Park Theatre 200, 29th January 2018 Not quite sure why this didn’t entirely work for me. Alexander Bodin Sophir takes an intriguing story, the escape of 7500 Jews by boat from Copenhagen to Sweden in 1943 just before the Nazis were about to round them up, and puts…

Pinter at Pinter 5 review ***

Pinter at Pinter Five: The Room/Victoria Station/Family Voices Harold Pinter Theatre, 26th January 2019 The weakest of the Pinter at Pinter season IMHO though still well worth seeing. Not the fault of the cast with Rupert Graves in particular on top form. Maybe the plays; The Room is Pinter’s first…

Sweat at the Donmar Warehouse review *****

Sweat Donmar Warehouse, 24th January 2019 Who is the greatest living playwright (in the English language). Caryl Churchill. Obviously.

The best theatre coming up in London

It’s been a little while since the Tourist set out his favourite theatre opportunities either on now (in the case of Nine Night), or coming up over the year in London. Nothing too obscure or fringe-y here. Tried and trusted in terms of writer, director, cast and/or venue. The first…

The Unreturning at Theatre Royal Stratford East review *****

The Unreturning Theatre Royal Stratford East, 24th January 2019 Denizens of Leicester, Swansea and Oxford. Consider yourself lucky. There is still time for you to catch the tour of Frantic Assembly’s The Unreturning which has already travelled to Plymouth, (the Theatre Royal who cannily commissioned it), Southampton, Edinburgh, Liverpool, Birmingham…

I’m Not Running at the National Theatre review ***

I’m Not Running National Theatre Lyttleton, 22nd January 2019 If you have a moment one day take a look at the writing credits of David Hare, both for stage and screen. There are a lot, including some of the finest dramas written in the English language over the past four…
