Review: SHANGHAI DOLLS at Kiln Theatre

In SHANGHAI DOLLS, Amy Ng has written a play nearly as ambitious as the two women at its core and yet the scope and decades-long timeline feels necessarily truncated as we traverse China’s Cultural Revolution and a friendship which turned into a bitter rivalry.

Review: MANHUNT at Royal Court

In the summer of 2010, UK tabloids proclaimed horrific headlines when a dangerous criminal who’d been released from Durham prison, went to ground after spending three days wreaking havoc across Tyne and Wear and Northumberland.
