Review: DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA at The Old Red Lion
By Nastazja Domaradzka Sunday, June 18 2017, 11:14
The New York playwright and screenwriter John Patrick Shanley is known for depicting human beings at their most vulnerable whilst exploring the darkest aspects of humanity. In his 1983 play DANNY AND THE DEEP BLUE SEA Shanley tells the story of Danny and Roberta, two lonely souls who find each other in the middle of the Bronx, wrapped in their own personal tragedies and ultimately trapped by their own past, the characters find themselves yearning for a human connection.

Review: OBSESSION at The Barbican Centre
By Nastazja Domaradzka Wednesday, May 10 2017, 08:23
Ivo van Hove is currently one of the most acclaimed theatre directors in the world. His 2014 production of A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE has forever changed my understanding of not only approaching well know texts but also of the possibilities that the exploration of both time and space can create for theatre makers.

Review: NUCLEAR WAR at The Royal Court
By Nastazja Domaradzka Tuesday, May 2 2017, 15:30
This new piece by Simon Stephens is a form of experimental devised art work that was created in collaboration with movement director Imogen Knight. Whilst NUCLEAR WAR is a metaphorical tittle that paints a solid and vivid basis for the themes explored by the piece, the overall outcome feels a little bit disappointing and perhaps underwhelming, although the piece does occasionally create powerful and vivid images.

Review: CONSENT at The National Theatre

Nina Raina’s new play CONSENT is a strong addition to the recent outbreak of feminist work that does not compromise when it comes to talking about difficult subjects such as rape, sexual consent and male abuse of power. Directed by Roger Michell, CONSENT is a powerful piece of contemporary theatre that not only explores these harrowing themes but also examines the flaws of the legal justice system and delves into the politics of sexual relationships.

Review: MY BRILLIANT FRIEND at The Rose Theatre Kingston
By Nastazja Domaradzka Sunday, March 19 2017, 09:07
This spring The Rose Theatre Kingston has staged the world premiere of Elena Ferrante’s Neapolitan saga which has been translated in many languages and has sold millions of copies worldwide. Adapted from the four lengthy volumes by April de Angelis, the story of two female friends growing up in post war Italy is an epic two part production that in an imaginative and moving way captures the strength and complexity of female friendship. Yet whilst Melly Still’s production offers plenty of great moments the overall feeling is that MY BRILLIANT FRIEND is perhaps a too ambitious a project.
