The Woman in Black review
Having seen the show about five years ago I expected to be as cool as a cucumber when watching the West End’s only Thriller, The Woman in Black, for a second time …I wasn’t! Stephen Mallatratt’s stage version of Susan Hill’s horror fiction begins in the realms of meta-theatre; a play...
Death of a Salesman review
With this astute production RSC Artistic Director Gregory Doran has more than proved that Arthur Miller’s modern American tragedy deserves to be performed by England’s most revered Shakespeare company. The play which questions the credibility of the American dream definitely strikes a chord...

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...

Gypsy review
Light the lights! Gypsy the Musical has officially opened in the West End following a successful run at Chichester Festival Theatre last year. The show opened for previews on the 28th March at the Savoy Theatre and despite a couple of cancelled performances due to the Holborn Fire, the show opened...
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...
