Exit the King – Olivier Theatre (2 October 2018)

Truly one of the most miserable theatre experiences I’ve had in my live [fin]

The Birthday Party – Harold Pinter Theatre (5 February 2018)

Seriously getting of the opinion that west-end directors do sweet FA [fin]

Glengarry Glen Ross – The Playhouse (18 December 2017)

I can’t decide if I don’t like David Mamet, or I’ve just never seen a really good production. There’s a style to the dialogue that I just don’t feel I’ve seen given a fair treatment. There’s a lot to commend in this one. And, enough pace and laughs to take you along quite happily. BUT.

Daniel Kitson: Work In Progress – Battersea Arts Centre (25 October 2015)

A Short Series of Disagreements Presented Here in Chronological Order. Even his WiP shows are magical. Wish I’d seen them all, can’t wait for the finalised version [fin]

A Woman of No Importance – Vaudeville Theatre (23 October 2017)

A production tonally all over the place to the extent it does the talented cast and the text a serious disservice [fin]

Apologia – Trafalgar Studios (17 October 2014)

A well acted family drama. Plenty laughs. And, (the real) Rizzo! [fin]

King Lear – Shakespeare’s Globe (14 October 2014)

One of those productions where you think “ah, that’s what this is all about…” Great acting. Show stolen by Saskia Reeves as Clark Kent [fin]

Prism – Hampstead Theatre (9 October 2017)

Citizen Smith as cinematographer Jack Cardiff. An affectionate and clever (if ultimately shallow) portrait of the artist as an old man [fin]

Our Ladies of Perpetual Succour – Duke of York’s (24 August 2017)

Simply one of the most joyous pieces of theatre I have seen for many years. Shame this is the end of the run, I’d love to experience it again [fin]

Yerma – Young Vic (05 August 2017)

Yeah, Billie Piper is great in this. I suspect I’m glad I don’t know the source material. And, what’s with those scene changes…? [fin]
