at National Theatre, Olivier.
Adapted from the 1936 book, the show is charming and whimsical, whilst retaining its central clarion call to young women to follow their dreams.

Good to see fellow critics joining in with the pre-show ‘ballet class’.

at Wilton’s Music Hall.
An entire show composed of enigmas, cyphers, conundrums and sleight of hand. David Kwong had us all completely mesmerised by his mental dexterity and audience engagement.

Libby Rodliffe embodies each character with confidence and elan as she deploys an array of distinct accents to deliver her plate-spinning yarn.

at Old Red Lion Pub Theatre, Angel.
What starts as a frivolous examination of strained compatibility, soon morphs into something altogether more sinister, unsettling and engrossing.

at Southwark Playhouse.
“…the piece has a tendency to morph into a meandering metaphysical marathon, which isn’t always fully comprehensible nor riveting entertainment.”
Lots of effort, but not my cup of tea.

Does the big spectacle constitute spectacular theatrical entertainment?
I found myself impressed by parts, but emotionally unmoved.

THE MEAT KINGS! (INC.) OF BROOKLYN HEIGHTS
at Park Theatre.
Butchers, job reductions, a burgeoning romance among the cutlets, and an ICE raid. It’s almost like being in blue collar USA.

Bows from last evening’s performance of this pertinent reflection of America’s current blue collar tribulations, exacerbated by ICE raids and lack of due process.

The character-led dialogue lends itself to a 1 hour TV drama. For those who’d like to see the play in the current format, it continues downstairs at Hampstead until 29th November.

Evenings like this, remind me why I make an effort to attend and review circa 160-170 productions per year. Breathtaking, inventive, exact, provoking, mellifluous.

Other productions chose to wallow in the murky depths of mental castigation. This OTHELLO is brazenly pitched and entirely accessible. It speaks to a modern West End audience in ways few have managed.

DEAD MAN WALKING
at London Coliseum.
The rousing cinematic score with its Bernstein-esque orchestrations, is fleshed with strains of blues and soul elements which surreptitiously find their way into scenes.

THE LINE OF BEAUTY

Much of the playfully nuanced verbal interaction of the novel finds its way into the stage adaptation, including matters both tawdry and high brow.

Thatcher’s Britain with its rabid class distinctions and burgeoning gay scene. Hollinghurst’s novel brought vividly to the stage in Jack Holden’s adaptation.
