Julie at the National Theatre review ***

Julie National Theatre Lyttleton, 9th June 2018 I am not sure if I like Strindberg’s play Miss Julie. The programme notes for this adaptation of the story by Polly Stenham explicitly deals with Strindberg’s rampant misogyny and class hatred.

Mood Music at the Old Vic review ***

Mood Music Old Vic Theatre, 30th May 2018 Joe Penhall is definitely on to something with his new play Mood Music. But having found it I am not entirely sure that he then took the time to develop it. Well worth seeing, some fine performances and some thoughtful debate, but,…
