Olivia Colman and Jessie Buckley lead the sprightly Wicked Little Letters “This story is more true than you’d think” Truth be told I let the Guardian panning Wicked Little Letters twice over guide me in terms of not going to see this rightaway, but when will I learn that critics don’t often know what they’re talking about. Written by Jonny Sweet from a true story, it has an uncomplicated charm to its ineffably Britflick period style and a quality cast having a wry bit of fun in delivering it – period swearing turns out to be quite fruitily funny. Set in the Sussex town of Littlehampton in ..read more

Some fantastic musicianship underscores the humble charm of Street Songs – A Busker’s Tale at the Golden Goose Theatre “If you’re not playing You’re not earning” As SplitLip celebrate the extraordinary success of Operation Mincemeat winning Best New Musical at the Oliviers, much has rightly been made of its developmental journey to the West End, through any numbber of shorter runs at fringe theatres, refining and refining the show. I’m not necessarily predicting the same trajectory for Street Songs – A Busker’s Tale (but if it does happen, you heard it here first ) but rather pointing out the ..read more

A chance to catch some New Zealand theatre comes courtesy of one-man-play The Daylight Atheist at the Old Red Lion “When the sun goes down, I believe like you wouldn´t believe…” It is a little hard to check given how much theatre I’ve seen over the last 15 years or so but I suspect this may be the first New Zealand play I’ve ever seen. Tom Scott’s The Daylight Atheist ranks as one of NZ’s most popular and oft-performed plays since debuting in 2002 and some 22 years later, it now receives its UK premiere in the cosy surroundings of the Old Red Lion. A globe-spanning one-person-show, Scott ..read more

Richard Jones’ truly striking production of Machinal makes for a challenging and creatively inspiring time at the Old Vic “Aren’t you glad it’s a girl” There’s clearly something about the play Machinal that brings something special out of directors. Natalie Abrahami delivered extraordinary work at the Almeida back in 2018 and now, transferring to the Old Vic from the significantly more intimate Ustinov Studio at Theatre Royal Bath, Richard Jones casts his own inimitable style on Sophie Treadwell’s expressionistic drama. Most striking from the off is Hyemi Shin’s lurid set design, constantly ja ..read more
