Review: ROLLER at The Barbican Theatre
By Nastazja Domaradzka Monday, December 4 2017, 10:27
I’m awaiting the day revolution arrives and so is half of the population of this planet. The recent revelations regarding Harvey Weinstein shed a light on the massive problem of sexual harassment and abuse that women endure on a day to day basis. ROLLER, a collaboration between Rachel Mars and Nat Tarrabwho are also winners of the Oxford Samuel Beckett Theatre Trust award, explores female rage and strives for a revolution whilst putting intersectional feminism centre stage.

Review: VENUS IN FUR at Theatre Royal Haymarket
By Nastazja Domaradzka Sunday, October 22 2017, 15:08
Patrick Marber couldn’t be more unlucky regarding the timing of the opening of his production of VENUS IN FUR. Whilst the whole world is trying to deal with the revelations regarding Harvey Weinstein and the power of the #metoo movement stands an actual chance of enabling our society to finally face the harrowing reality of rape culture, Marber’s production of David Ives’ VENUS IN FUR, despite a fantastic performance from Natalie Dormer, seems like the most unnecessary and non-urgent piece of theatre one could watch right now.

Review: AFTER THE REHEARSAL/PERSONA at The Barbican Centre
By Nastazja Domaradzka Saturday, September 30 2017, 07:35
In AFTER THE REHEARSAL director Ivo van Hove stages a naturalistic piece of theatre adapted from the film of the same name, focussing on the psychological complexity of Bergman’s story about the aging theatre director Hendrik Vogler (Gijs Scholten van Aschat). Much centres around the women in his life, the late actress Rachel (Marieke Heebink) and her daughter Anna (Gaite Jansen). “The director needs to learn two things, how to listen, and when to shut up”, says Hendrik to the young protégée Anna.

Review: BOUDICA at The Globe
By Nastazja Domaradzka Saturday, September 16 2017, 11:19
As Emma Rice leaves The Globe Theatre in the spring of 2018 she leaves behind a legacy, a legacy that has changed The Globe indefinitely. Shared light or no shared light Rice has transformed a “museum theatre” and a tourist attraction into a venue that is now seen as relevant and approachable as it once again lures people of all backgrounds, ages and classes, by staging productions which are rooted in universal socio-political truths. The world premiere of Tristan Bernay’s BOUDICA is no different, as it puts a famous tribal heroine centre stage and aims to make a comment about the current political climate in Britain.

Review: ROTTERDAM at The Arts Theatre
By Nastazja Domaradzka Monday, July 3 2017, 10:19
Jon Brittain’s ROTTERDAM stormed the theatre scene when it first opened at THEATRE 503 nearly two years ago. Following its transfer to Trafalgar Studios and to an off Broadway venue, Brittain’s comedy about sexuality, relationships and identity gets another revival, this time at The Arts Theatre.
