Allelujah at the Bridge Theatre review ****

Allelujah Bridge Theatre, 12th September 2018 Yet again by the time the Tourist gets round to seeing a major London premiere and, worst still given his feckless nature, comments on it, it is as good as over. Mind you the good news is that, as far as I can see,…

Foxfinder at the Ambassadors Theatre review ***

Foxfinder Ambassadors Theatre, 10th September 2018 I had not seen Dawn King’s feted breakthrough play Foxfinder but I can see why it caused such a stir when it appeared in 2011 and why it is being made into a film. A near(ish) post-war dystopia, where a shadowy authoritarian regime has…

The Second Violinist at the Barbican review ***

The Second Violinist Barbican Theatre 7th September 2018 Ok so I bought a ticket here on a bit of a whim and because it garnered some awards on its premiere in Ireland. Now I know from past experience that the playwright Enda Walsh is not a man who likes to…

Copenhagen at the Minerva Theatre Chichester review *****

Copenhagen Minerva Theatre Chichester, 6th September 2018 Michael Frayn wrote the funniest stage comedy of all time. Noises Off. OK well maybe it is only is the funniest of those comedies that I have seen. And maybe the two productions that I have seen, the NT one from 2000/2001 directed…

The Height of the Storm at Richmond Theatre review ****

The Height of the Storm Richmond Theatre, 5th September 2018 I can’t deny that Florian Zeller is a gifted playwright. I am just not sure his work is for me. I saw The Father at this very house in 2016 with Kenneth Cranham in the lead role. Centering on an…

Blackkklansman film review ****

Blackkklansman, 30th August 2018 Spike Lee is 61 years old. This photo is a few years old but there is still a twinkle in his eye if you ask me. That twinkle, the eye for mischief, has been in his films from the start. Now I can’t pretend that I…

Aftermath at Tate Britain review ****

Aftermath: Art in the Wake of World War One Tate Britain, 29th August 2018 Historians abhor teleology these days. It’s a tricky business identifying events that “changed the history of the world”. For us simple layfolk though the First World War must surely mark a defining shift in the human…

The Lieutenant of Inishmore at the Noel Coward Theatre review *****

The Lieutenant of Inishmore Noel Coward Theatre, 31st August 2018 My regular reader, (hello), will need no reminding, (OK maybe they will), that I am a massive fan of Mr Martin McDonagh. Hangmen is the best new play I have seen in the last 3 years, indeed one of the…

Home I’m Darling at the National Theatre review ***

Home, I’m Darling National Theatre Dorfman, 29th August 2018 N.B. Home I’m Darling is transferring to the Duke of York’s Theatre from 26th January 2019 for 11 weeks and then toddles off on tour to Theatre Royal Bath, The Lowry and Theatr Clywd. Now I have to confess to a…

Pericles at the National Theatre review *****

Pericles National Theatre Olivier, 26th August 2018 So how do you like your theatre? Or more particularly how do your like your Shakespeare? Utterly faithful to the First Folio? Set in the time and place that big Will intended (however baffling)? All blokes in tights? Performed by elite, public school…
