Cyrano de Bergerac at the Playhouse Theatre review *****
Cyrano de Bergerac Playhouse Theatre, 30th January 2020 I appreciate the utter pointlessness of me rabbiting on right now about theatre productions that have come and gone but since I am ill equipped to do anything but stay out of the way as instructed, then forgive me my indulgence. Actually…

When the Crows Visit at the Kiln Theatre review ****
When the Crows Visit Kiln Theatre, 6th November 2019 An adaptation of Ibsen’s Ghosts, relocated to modern day India. Seems like a good idea no? It was. In fact better than I had expected even with its visible flaws.. Anupama Chandrasekhar has written a play that takes the Norwegian master…

Anna at the National Theatre review ****
Anna National Theatre Dorfman, 11th June 2019 After a false start, (the indolent Tourist failed to wake up in time on the appointed on-sale day and this sold out fast), a couple of returns were secured so it was off to the Dorfman with MS in tow for Ella Hickson’s…

Tartuffe at the National Theatre review *****

Berberian Sound Studio at the Donmar Warehouse review ****
Berberian Sound Studio Donmar Warehouse, 14th March 2019 I sort of stumbled across Peter Strickland second full length film by accident. Always keep half an eye on what’s coming up on Film 4. Record anything that I recognise as requiring a watch, (on the basis of pretentious film buff recommendations),…

The Wolves at the Theatre Royal Stratford East review ****
The Wolves Theatre Royal Stratford East, 26th October 2018 …. or 3 stars if you would prefer the opinion of LD which may be more relevant since she should have a greater affinity with the subjects of Sarah DeLappe’s novel debut play. The SO similarly enjoyed the production but was…
