THEATRE REVIEW | Spy Plays, London
★★★★★ | Spy Plays, Above the Stag Theatre, London Intrigue. Attraction. Mystery. Lust. Sex. Murder.

The Inheritance, The Young Vic
★★★★★ | The Inheritance, The Young Vic It’s a bold move to schedule nearly 7 hours of theatre about the lives of gay men, by a writer who’s largely unknown in the UK and hope that people take a punt on it without fear of boredom or backache. It’s paid off here though, as the […]

THEATRE REVIEW | Dust, Soho Theatre
★★★★★ | Dust, Soho Theatre Alice, the central character of Dust, is dead, looking on as the aftermath of her suicide causes unexpected reactions. Don’t expect Patrick Swayze style saucy potters’ wheels or James Stewart’s revelations about how wonderful life is, though. This is certainly not one of those kinds of stories. Life for Alice […]
