Review: REYKJAVIK at Hampstead Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, October 25 2024, 16:22
Richard Bean has considerable form when it comes to writing sharp, timing-critical comedy, so the Feb’76 sinking of a fishing trawler off the coast of Iceland resulting in the loss of fifteen souls, would seem an unlikely starting point for the man who gave us One Man, Two Guvnors and Jack Absolute Flies Again. So how does Hampstead Theatre’s latest opener REYKJAVIK measure up in the banter stakes?

Review: FLY MORE THAN YOU FALL at Southwark Playhouse Elephant
By Stuart King Thursday, October 24 2024, 07:40
A confident young wannabe writer takes her first tentative steps by enrolling at a writers’ summer camp. Just as she begins to settle and make friends (at the same time as realising everyone has an opinion and is a critic), she is whisked away by her parents who have arrived with devastating news to impart.

Review: OEDIPUS at Wyndham’s Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, October 17 2024, 12:33
Mark Strong and Lesley Manville head an uber strong cast, assembled by Robert Icke for his OEDIPUS — a modernised version after Sophocles, in which political ambitions are upended by long forgotten family deeds, cloaked in a conspiracy of silence.

Review: LAND OF THE FREE at Southwark Playhouse Borough
By Stuart King Wednesday, October 16 2024, 10:04
Renowned theatre ensemble Simple8 are in the habit of taking a nugget of rarely explored material, researching the hell out of it and then piecing it back together to create a collaborative theatrical work of notable originality. In LAND OF THE FREE, the Booth acting dynasty is put under the spotlight in an amusingly informative drama which has just opened at Southwark Playhouse Borough.
