I reviewed Best of Friends for Everything Theatre recently: The Landor is one of the best pub/theatre setups I’ve yet seen. The cozy bar downstairs full of squashy couches and mismatched chairs looks like a great place to while away a weekend afternoon, and there’s even a garden if it’s sunny. In the upstairs theatre, The … Continue reading

Perils of Titus
Yesterday I went to see Titus Andronicus at the Globe with an old friend. I must admit, Titus isn’t a show I ever particularly wanted to see. I knew the plot slightly from my long-held enthusiasm for The Complete Works of William Shakespeare (Abridged) and from my friend Tom’s PhD on the play–he’s trying to work … Continue reading

The Three Rings of Cirque Tsuki review for Everything Theatre
I reviewed The Three Rings of Cirque Tsuki for Everything Theatre last weekend: The performer/devisors of ImmerCity have put together an intricately nested experience of stories within stories. Don’t worry, it’s less confusing than it sounds. Inevitably there were a few places during five hours of theatre where I found my attention wandering, but overall … Continue reading

I was so entranced by following these butterflies that I completely missed the box office on … Continue reading

Father Nandru and the Wolves at Wilton’s Music Hall
I reviewed <em>Father Nandru and the Wolves</em> at Wilton’s Music Hall for Everything Theatre. Wilton’s has surrounded Father Nandru and the Wolves with enticing tidbits: before the show you can grab a bit of ZakuskiLondon’s Romanian-inspired finger foods, and afterwards there is live music in the bar by gypsy bands. On the night I was … Continue reading

Blue Remembered Hills (Review for Everything Theatre)
The folks at Everything Theatre let me review Blue Remembered Hills at the New Diorama Theatre for them: To me, Blue Remembered Hills really is like Dennis Potter took Lord of the Flies, added a couple of girls and relocated it to Dorset. We may not be on a tropical island, but there’s the same … Continue reading
