  • Vincent River at the Park Theatre review ****

    Vincent River Park Theatre, 29th March 2018 I wonder if the 2070s equivalents of the Finborough Theatre or the Orange Tree Theatre, will be lauded for their Philip Ridley revivals. Mr Ridley’s subject matter and idiom means he is a nailed on certainty to get multiple airings in today’s theatrical…

  • Daisy Pulls It Off at the Park Theatre review ***

    Daisy Pulls It Off Park Theatre 200, 16th December 2017 Funny thing the memory. Even more curious is consciousness itself. It used to be that clever folk conceptualised consciousness as a kind of “theatre of the mind”. Apparently now the cutting edge of neuroscience, psychology and philosophy says this dualism…

  • The Retreat at the Park Theatre review ***

    The Retreat Park Theatre, 30th November 2017 So here is another offering from the Park which, whilst offering a very entertaining night out, didn’t quite deliver a whole commensurate with the sum of its parts. And very fine parts they were too. Sam Bain, with writing partner Jesse Armstrong, is…

  • What Shadows at the Park Theatre review ****

    What Shadows Park Theatre, 19th October 2005 The Park Theatre has pulled off a bit of a coup in bringing the Birmingham Rep’s production of What Shadows to London. It has been a deserved sell out. I have some misgivings, there were times when the didactisism verged on the patronising,…

  • Loot at the Park Theatre review ****

    Loot Park Theatre, 14th September 2017 There has been a lot of progress in the last 50 years in this country. Good people are more tolerant and accepting of the identity of others (though there are still plenty of bigoted d*ckheads to be found polluting the discourse), The fairy tales…

  • Rabbits at the Park Theatre review ***

    Rabbits Park Theatre, 17th August 2017 Even after seeing Rabbits I am scratching my head somewhat as to why I did. Others have remarked on the slightly wayward output of the Park Theatre under Jez Bond’s tutelage but you can’t fault the breadth of the offers and it is all…

  • Twitstorm at the Park Theatre review ***

    Twitstorm Park Theatre, 15th June 2017 Right then. Where to start with Twitstorm, a new play by Chris England, which has a couple more weeks to run at the Park Theatre. Well once again the Park has taken an intriguing and a la mode idea and stuffed it full of…

  • Some ideas for the culturally inclined in London

    Here is a very brief round-up, (apparently I can drone on a bit so have tried to be disciplined), of the current and forthcoming major theatre and exhibition events in London that have caught my eye (and ear). I have a list of classical concerts which is still good to go…

  • London theatre update

    Focussing on theatre and couldn’t be arsed to put in a photo. Most of this below post still applies but a few new shiny things have caught my beady eye. Some ideas for the culturally inclined in London At the Barbican booking opening for a Japanese version of Macbeth which…
