Hay Fever Duke of Yorks 500x350

Hay Fever review

Another year in the West End, another production of Hay Fever emerges, or so it seems. Noël Coward’s celebrated text has been widely performed in the past 90 odd years and is back once more, this time with Felicity Kendal playing the lusty matriarch, Judith Bliss. I like a good chuckle and I...

The Audience review

It seems the Royals have become quite the draw on the West End stage. Both The Audience and King Charles III have proven exceptionally popular, offering fascinating depictions of the monarchy with a surprising amount of laughs that eschew any expectations of stuffy historical plays. Yet where Mike...

Gypsy review

I just want to talk about this production of Gypsy all day and all night forever and ever. It is one of the best productions I have ever seen and below I will try to turn my awe-like passion for Jonathan Kent’s revival into words. Why is this show so wonderful? What made me leave the Savoy...

Oppenheimer vaudeville Theatre

Oppenheimer review

I didn’t go to see the RSC’s Oppenheimer in Stratford because I wasn’t massively drawn in by the premise; the story of the man who created the atomic bomb (the eponymous J. Robert Oppenheimer). Then, however, the five star reviews started rolling in, and these, combined with a West End...

Aside from empathising with the title of the show, I am pretty much able to recite each episode of...
