Review: PRIVATE LIVES at Ambassadors Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, September 14 2023, 16:23
Noel Coward’s perennial comedy of warring coupledom has been dusted-off for yet another outing in the West End, and it has aged surprisingly well — or perhaps this reviewer has simply begun to feel an alarming sense of nostalgia for the plays which were considered tired old warhorses in his youth!

Review: RED PITCH at Bush Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, September 13 2023, 09:54
Three 16-year old, black South London youths, look for stability in their ever-changing urban landscape. The red football pitch they’ve known all their lives is under constant threat from redevelopers and as the responsibilities of adulthood beckon, each has to evaluate his place in the world and the group.

By Stuart King Friday, September 8 2023, 09:54
Known to all Japanese manga fans, DEATH NOTE is a story by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata which involves a mythological Shinigami death god Ryuk (George Maguire), his discarded notebook and the adventures of the Tokyo student who stumbles upon it. Until Sunday you too can witness this extraordinarily individual production in the West End.

Review: CANDY at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, August 24 2023, 22:27
Park Theatre’s smaller space is all-a-shimmer for the foreseeable future as it hosts CANDY, a one-man debut play by Tim Fraser, produced and performed by Michael Waller. The shimmering comes from the shining copper strands which cling to the walls and surround the audience, creating a workingmen’s club ‘bingo night’ atmosphere.

Review: A MIRROR at Almeida
By Stuart King Thursday, August 24 2023, 00:00
The Almeida’s entrance is presently festooned with pink and white ribbons, the foyer adorned with an archway of balloons, whilst the auditorium itself proclaims a marriage ceremony about to get underway - complete with buffet table bearing Leyla and Joel and a wedding cake positioned to one side of the seating area reserved for family.
