DANGER: MEMORY! (Theatro Technis) ★★★
These rarely performed one-act plays by Arthur Miller were not a big success when they opened at Lincoln Center, in the intimate Newhouse Theater, in New York in 1986, with the Mark Rich of the New York Times stating they were “gray” and devoid of drama. British audiences and critics were not convinced either when […]

REVIEW: UNDEAD BARD (Theatre N16) ★★★
Well, this was certainly a unique piece of theatre! Robert Crighton’s self-performed one-man show is a play of two halves, exploring the afterlife of William Shakespeare in all of its pantomime and woes. The first half, ‘The Shakespeare Delusion’, provoked laughter from the audience within seconds, continuing at this comedic pace throughout. Professor Ashborn, an […]

REVIEW: LOST SOULS AND LUNATICS (The Hope Theatre) ★★★★★
