  Catching up (Part 4)

  January 2021 to April 2021 The novelty of digital entertainment by now very much worn off but, fortunately, there were plenty of other worthwhile distractions (the return of birdwatching after four decades perhaps the most surprising) for the Tourist to mask the lack of live cultural stimulation. (And travel, which…

  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…

  Noye’s Fludde at the Theatre Royal Stratford East review ****

  Noye’s Fludde Theatre Royal Stratford East, 3rd July 2019 You might think it’s a bit sad really. A grown man in his 50s on his own at a children’s opera performed by a community that he cannot claim to be any part of. Unfortunately my kids never caught the Britten…

  Pinter at Pinter Six: Party Time and Celebration Harold Pinter Theatre, 17th January 2019 This for me was the best off the bunch so far in the Pinter at Pinter one act play season. And proof that Jamie Lloyd is the Man when it comes to directing the menacing Master.…

  Pinter at the Pinter Four: Moonlight and Night School Harold Pinter Theatre, 6th December 2018 The Tourist is a bit off the pace what with that the holiday celebrations to enjoy/get through (delete as appropriate). Still three more of the Pinter one act plays season to look forward too as…
