Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE at Adelphi Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, March 4 2022, 08:08
The high octane freneticism of the movie has been neatly translated into a theatrical experience with all the whimsical exuberance of the original — plus a few added layers of corny in-jokes, fantastic special effects and of course, tightly choreographed musical dance numbers.

The charmingly faded grandeur of the Coronet Theatre in Notting Hill Gate once again welcomes the Norwegian Ibsen Company for their third collaborative effort — this time breathing life into the playwright’s last major work WHEN WE DEAD AWAKEN from 1899.

Review: RAIN AND ZOE SAVE THE WORLD at the Jermyn Street Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, February 18 2022, 08:06
Whilst Crystal Skillman’s play may itself feel somewhat over-extended simply in trying to cover too much real and metaphysical ground, this small-scale London production has capitalised on the creative team’s considerable theatrical inventiveness and displays elements which demonstrate imaginative ingenuity and perhaps surprisingly (for the usually staid Jermyn Street venue) even some technical wizardry.

Review: AN EVENING WITHOUT KATE BUSH at the Soho Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, February 8 2022, 22:40
One of London’s more unusual and quirky pieces of performance theatre is currently lifting the spirits of audiences at the Soho Theatre. An Evening Without Kate Bush is unashamedly part musical tribute, but more than that, it’s a young woman’s journey reliving her obsession with the pop diva’s music, the unmistakable voice, her maverick dance style and the whole mythology which grew up around her very individual approach to the music business.
