Review: ANTHROPOLOGY at Hampstead Theatre

The life of a Silicon Valley software engineer Merril (MyAnna Buring) implodes when her younger sister Angie (Dakota Blue Richards) vanishes. A year passes during which police make little headway in the case, so Merril begins to trawl through the online digital footprint her sister has left behind and creates an AI algorithm from the data — but will the result be a familiar (albeit computer generated) companion, or open a Pandora’s Box of other information?

Review: DEATH NOTE at Lyric Shaftesbury Avenue

Known to all Japanese manga fans, DEATH NOTE is a story by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata which involves a mythological Shinigami death god Ryuk (George Maguire), his discarded notebook and the adventures of the Tokyo student who stumbles upon it.
