Directed by Vicky Featherstone and boasting a closely knit family of four Birkenhead women, Michael Wynne’s darkly funny new play CUCKOO has opened at the Royal Court and as a comedic social commentary, it touches on a quite dizzying array of subjects.

Review: BONES at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, July 11 2023, 08:31
Whilst the National Theatre’s exalted Olivier stage currently explores the mental pressures and bravado ever present in the world of football with Dear England, the Park Theatre’s considerably smaller and more intimate playing area tackles rugby with BONES, a new play by Lewis Aaron Wood which asks “When is it OK to not want to play?”

Review: GUYS AND DOLLS at the Bridge Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, July 7 2023, 10:47
Firstly, if you were to gather together a group of musical theatre reviewers in one place, what would be their collective noun? Secondly, if the purpose of that gathering were to ascertain from them the perfect musical, what would it be? Chances are, amidst the generous cross-section of nominees, Frank Loesser’s 1950 classic GUYS AND DOLLS would feature strongly.

Review: CRAZY FOR YOU at Gillian Lynne Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, July 4 2023, 10:45
Song and dance man Charlie Stemp stomps and stamps his mark on yet another all-singing, all-dancing feel good musical, this time CRAZY FOR YOU which has just opened at the Gillian Lynne Theatre and is nothing short of Stemptastic.
