The Master Builder is probably Henrik Ibsen’s most autobiographical piece. Inspired by his fascination with a younger woman, the Norwegian playwright created a story which examines the existential and universal themes of guilt, desire, creativity and despair. The Old Vic’s fantastic production of The Master Builder directed by its artistic director Matthew Warchus and starring Ralph Fiennes, is a tribute to Ibsen’s compelling work.

We meet the members of the band when they are still playing for weddings and trying their best to get out of Muswell Hill.

I’m a huge fan of theatre productions that add a modern twist to well-known stories, making them more relevant to modern audiences. WONDER.LAND, the National Theatre’s collaboration with Daman Albarn (from the 90’s pop group Blur) could be one of these productions, however Lewis Carroll’s original Victorian tale of a girl discovering marvels beneath a rabbit hole barely survives in this digital oriented spectacle.
