Review: PEGGY FOR YOU at Hampstead Theatre

Amidst the dire predictions for theatre’s immediate future (due largely to the unwelcome spread of the omicron variant), there remain fantastic causes for optimism. One such ray of hope, is Tamsin Greig’s superlative turn as the extraordinary Peggy Ramsay (the once formidable power broker to the literary set). Greig literally inhabits and hypnotises as the title character in Hampstead Theatre’s revival of “Peggy For You” under Richard Wilson’s masterful direction.

Review: THE COMEDY OF ERRORS at the Barbican

When two sets of identical masters and servants all find themselves in Ephesus (having been mixed-up and separated years earlier as the result of a nautical disaster) miscommunications and mistaken identities unsurprisingly result. The farcical comedy and slapstick choreography which ensues lays at the heart of Phillip Breen's direction of Shakespeare's best loved early comedy for the RSC, now playing at the Barbican.
