REVIEW: 1984 (Playhouse Theatre) ★★★★
The first comment I’ll make is this; 1984 is best appreciated from one of the following means of preparation: a) read the book before seeing the play, b) read up on at least the basic premise of the play before you see it or c) just prepare yourself for the reality that this is not […]
REVIEW: THE GREATER GAME (Southwark Playhouse) ★★★★★
I am not a cynical person but when I see two, more or less, identical stories in one week, I feel that I should question it. A short time ago I watched (and thoroughly enjoyed) Brass about a group of men, all part of a Northern brass band, deciding to volunteer, as a group, to […]

REVIEW: CATS (Sunderland Empire) ★★★★
Sunderland Empire has been creatively transformed into a great big, beautiful rubbish heap for this faithfully resurrected extravaganza. Based on “Old Possum’s Book of Cats”, the poems of TS Eliot, the story is told entirely in song and dance to the music of Andrew Lloyd Webber. Webber has smartly mined the natural music in Eliot’s […]
REVIEW: NO MAN’S LAND (Wyndhams Theatre) ★★★
Is there a better duo than Sir Ian McKellen and Sir Patrick Stewart? Two of the finest British actors, together on stage in Pinter’s absurdist play. It sounds almost too good to be true and indeed the play starts off with exceptional promise. A chance meeting between two men, Spooner (Ian McKellen) and Hirst (Patrick […]
