Review: ROSE at Park Theatre!

Park Theatre’s staging of Martin Sherman’s 1999 monologue for an elderly Jewish holocaust survivor, gives audiences a chance to get up close and intimate with Dame Maureen Lipman as she delivers a funny, harrowing and poignant personal account of one woman’s journey through mankind’s darkest and most turbulent period and on into the future.

Review: THE SNAIL HOUSE at The Hampstead Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, September 15 2022, 20:52
During the birthday party organised to celebrate a knighthood which has been bestowed upon him in recognition of his professional achievements during the pandemic, Sir Neil Marriot finds himself forced to confront the character flaws which continue to cause pain and irritation to his long-suffering wife, son and daughter. In a bizarre twist, a member of the contract catering team recognises the newly conferred knight as the very man whose complacent, over-confident medical testimony years earlier, resulted in a life-ruining miscarriage of justice against her. She sees her chance to press for an admission he got it wrong and an apology. But is the infallible Sir Neil, even capable of such exacting reflection?

Review: THE CLINIC at the Almeida
By Stuart King Wednesday, September 14 2022, 10:21
Dipo Baruwa-Etti’s THE CLINIC has opened this week at the Almeida under the direction of Monique Touko. The title appears to be a reference to the open-plan kitchen environment of the wealthy black family’s home, in which social inequality discussions and familial bones of contention, provide rich pickings for hostility and combative misunderstandings within a family composed of both vehemently Right and Left leaning advocates, on the political spectrum.

By Stuart King Sunday, September 11 2022, 10:10
Elijah Ferreira and Jade Johnson play an ill-matched protagonist couple in a new post-apocalyptic musical HELP! WE ARE STILL ALIVE which opened at the intimate Seven Dials Playhouse this week. The creative enterprise largely concocted by Imogen Palmer and Tim Gilvin, sees Finn and Jass forced to stick with one another when after emerging from 2 days spent hiding from drone sounds in a mortuary freezer compartment, they discover everyone else has disappeared.

Review: RIDE at Charing Cross Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, August 31 2022, 22:47
Annie Londonderry may not be a familiar name nowadays, but back in the burgeoning days of celebrity culture — 1895 to be precise — she was something of a superstar, having done the unthinkable by circumnavigating the globe, on a bicycle!
