Review: GOOD at Harold Pinter Theatre

David Tennant must be one of our hardest working actors. He never seems to be off our televisions, cinema screens, West End stages and the radio. Here’s your chance to catch him live and in-person, every evening until 24th December as he leads a revival of C.P. Taylor’s hard-hitting play GOOD which was first performed at the Donmar Warehouse back in 1981. But be warned, this is far from frivolous fluff.

Review: THE BOY WITH TWO HEARTS at Dorfman, National Theatre

Based on the true story of an Afghan family who escaped the Taliban and travelled via traffickers to the UK, THE BOY WITH TWO HEARTS has been written by Hamed and Hessam Amiri (and adapted for the stage by Phil Porter) as a tribute to their late brother Hussein.

Review: BLUES FOR AN ALABAMA SKY at National Lyttelton

The eruption of the cultural and intellectual Black American experience which coalesced to form the Harlem Renaissance of the 1920&30s in New York, spawned a dazzlingly diverse array of talents who still inform popular culture to this day. But as the play begins, much of the vibrancy has begun to decline, heralding the gradual onset of the Great Depression.
