Review: BONNIE AND CLYDE at the Arts Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, May 13 2022, 12:39
Great Depression era outlaws Bonnie Elizabeth Parker and Clyde Chestnut Barrow were immortalised in the news reports of the day and subsequently in literature, songs and later still, the iconic 1967 movie starring Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway. The Arts Theatre now plays host to the musical version of the romantic couple’s criminal exploits, which enjoyed a brief run on Broadway over a decade ago.

Review: DOM JUAN at The Vaults, Waterloo
By Stuart King Friday, May 13 2022, 11:32

Review: DON PASQUALE at Royal Opera House
By Stuart King Sunday, May 8 2022, 22:27
Gaetano Donizetti’s comic opera Don Pasquale - first performed in early January 1843 in Paris - ended the opera buffa period on a high note. Its hugely successful premiere which included 4 of the most renowned singers of the day has remained a popular inclusion in the operatic repertoire to this day, despite a few noticeable periods of absence when it inexplicably fell out of fashion.

Marcos Morau’s troupe La Veronal had the National Dance Award bestowed upon it by the Spanish Ministry of Culture in 2015 and has produced bizarrely compelling work which defies definition and categorisation, ever since.

Review: THE END OF THE NIGHT at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, May 3 2022, 22:32
During the final days of Germany’s crumbling Third Reich, the once efficient and mechanised nation has become a volatile and dangerous place, with the lives of potentially thousands of concentration camp inmates hanging in the balance. In Ben Brown’s new play, physiotherapist Felix Kersten (Michael Lumsden) attempts to convene a secret meeting between his Nazi patient Heinrich Himmler (Richard Clothier) and a Swedish member of the World Jewish Congress, Norbert Masur (Ben Caplan).
