  • Red at the Wyndham’s Theatre review *****

    Red Wyndham’s Theatre, 21st June 2018 The original production of John Logan’s play Red at the Donmar Warehouse in 2009 with Alfred Molina and Eddie Redmayne passed me by. More fool me. So I was looking forward to catching this revival directed by Michael Grandage, (who directed the original), with…

  • The York Realist at the Donmar Warehouse review *****

    The York Realist Donmar Warehouse, 22nd March 2018 Live in Sheffield? Like theatre? Then you must go see this production of the 2001 play, The York Realist, which is on at the Crucible for the next couple of weeks. Live in Sheffield and no interest in the theatre? Even more…

  • A (flawed) guide to London theatres

    When I was a young teenager I took to making up some very odd games. I wasn’t lonely, with a handful of very good friends as I remember, and my very earliest encounters with the ladies were amongst my most successful, since my true nature, an awkward mix of the…

  • Out of Love at the Orange Tree Theatre review ****

    Out of Love Orange Tree Theatre, 6th February 2018 The second of the three co-productions with Paines Plough and Theatre Clywd and, for me, somewhat more persuasive than Black Mountain (Black Mountain at the Orange Tree Theatre review ***), though very different in subject and scope. Mind you, in both…

  • The Lady from the Sea at the Donmar Warehouse review ***

    The Lady From The Sea Donmar Warehouse, 23rd November 2017 I have an uneasy relationship with Henrik Ibsen and this is the first time I have seen The Lady From The Sea, (though I note that plenty of the usual Ibsen obsessions are on show in it). So I may…

    Right let me cut to the chase. Here is my latest attempt to distil the best of what is on now and what is coming up in the world of London theatre. There is a bunch of new stuff notably at the National Theatre, the Barbican, the Donmar Warehouse, the…

  • Knives in Hens at the Donmar Warehouse review *****

    Knives in Hens Donmar Warehouse, 21st September 2017 Now I guessed I was going to like this. All the clever folk who know about plays and stuff had raved about it. Written in 1995 by David Harrower it is considered a classic of British modern theatre. Its ostensible subject matter,…

  • Some forthcoming London theatre ideas

    So we have had a few new season announcements over the past few weeks so here is a wrap up of what I think looks interesting in terms of stuff coming up on various London stages. To spare you crawling through all this guff here is my top ten, including…

  • My favourite London theatre of 2016

    Right then. I know what you are thinking. Doesn’t this numpty know that it’s June 2017. Bit pointless talking about theatre from last year then. Well yes, you may well have a point. However this blog only started in March 2017 and it’s mine anyway so I can do what…

  • The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui at the Donmar Warehouse review ****

    The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui Donmar Warehouse, 18th May 2017 I see a lot of theatre now. Which means I read a lot of press reviews. Which is about the only time I ever step out of my Guardian reading, liberal, metropolitan elite cocoon. And that means reading reviews…
