A View From The Bridge – Wyndhams Theatre
‘A View From The Bridge’, by Arthur Miller, was written by the playwright during the five years that he was married to Marilyn Monroe: consequentially it’s easy to speculate and draw parallels between the subject matter of the piece and the preoccupations of its author at that time.

Macbeth – Lost Theatre
Claiming to strip the story back to the text, David Shopland’s Macbeth also asks us to find the humanity within each character.

The play is the playground of the […]

Gods and Monsters – Southwark Playhouse
Russell Labey’s biographical fantasy is an adaptation of Christopher Bram’s book Father of Frankenstein, the same source material as the 1998 film. So with the movie picking up an Oscar nomination for Ian McKellen and Bill Condon taking home the statuette for best adapted screenplay, it was a tough act to follow and intriguing to […]
