THE PLOUGH AND THE STARS by Sean O’Casey is a legendary masterpiece. With 2016 being the centenary year of the Easter Rising in Ireland it made perfect sense for The NATIONAL THEATRE to stage the final of the ‘Dublin Plays’ trilogy. Although the directors, Jeremy Herrin and Howard Davies create some compelling moments, they still fail to bring the spirit of the piece alive; resulting in the production feeling somewhat irrelevant and stale.

With last years critically acclaimed THE FATHER followed by the equally highly praised THE MOTHER, the Parisian playwright Florian Zeller has already made a strong mark for himself in British theatre. THE TRUTH, which transferred to THE WYNDHAM'S THEATRE is yet an another great piece of writing from Zeller, but Lindsay Posner's production lacks a naturalistic sense of direction, turning Christopher Hampton's translation of THE TRUTH into a farcical Noel Coward like play.
