Review: A SINGLE MAN at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Monday, October 24 2022, 10:22
Tom Ford electrified the movie world in 2009 with his gorgeously soft-focussed, cinematic adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s novel about a bereaved gay teacher, set in the early 1960s amidst Santa Monica’s swinging set.

Review: GOOD at Harold Pinter Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, October 18 2022, 00:05
David Tennant must be one of our hardest working actors. He never seems to be off our televisions, cinema screens, West End stages and the radio. Here’s your chance to catch him live and in-person, every evening until 24th December as he leads a revival of C.P. Taylor’s hard-hitting play GOOD which was first performed at the Donmar Warehouse back in 1981. But be warned, this is far from frivolous fluff.

Review: BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY at National Lyttelton
By Stuart King Wednesday, October 5 2022, 09:41
The eruption of the cultural and intellectual Black American experience which coalesced to form the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920&30s in New York, spawned a dazzlingly diverse array of talents who still inform popular culture to this day. But as the play begins, much of the vibrancy has begun to decline, heralding the gradual onset of the Great Depression.
