Review: PAPER CUT at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, June 13 2023, 09:52
North London’s powerhouse fringe venue continues to offer challenging, interesting and innovative work at its two spaces. PAPER CUT a new play from the pen of Andrew Rosendorf is a four-hander dealing with the physical and emotional toll suffered by soldiers returning from a violent tour of duty in Afghanistan.

Review: THE MIKADO at Wilton’s Music Hall
By Stuart King Monday, June 12 2023, 09:11
Operetta aficionados the world over will be familiar with the shenanigans of the Japanese Imperial court captured in Gilbert and Sullivan’s 1885 production THE MIKADO — their 9th of 14 collaborations. Here, Sasha Regan follows her now familiar formula in giving the venerable Victorian stories an entertainingly updated twist, performed by an all-male cast.

Review: GRINDR: THE OPERA at Union Theatre
By Stuart King Monday, June 12 2023, 08:47
Erik Ransom’s music and lyrics may not always hit Sondheim’s stride (despite the occasional dubiously-similar refrain and couplet), but he has certainly crammed as many gay dating-app tropes and references into a 2 hour show as is humanly possible — and the results are undeniably entertaining.

Review: GROUNDHOG DAY at Old Vic
By Stuart King Friday, June 9 2023, 10:39
This theatregoer waxed lyrically about the London production of GROUNDHOG DAY back in September 2016. Subsequently, its Broadway transfer added a clutch of Tony nominations to the Olivier award it won for Best New Musical. Now back in London with Andy Karl once again leading the cast as cynical womanising weatherman Phil Connors, the run at the Old Vic is sure to dazzle audiences once more.
