Some subjects make for unlikely theatre, not least when performed by a lone female on a relatively unencumbered stage. But in amongst the myriad missteps and misfires are occasional jewels and playwright Hannah Kumari’s ENG-ER-LAND is one of those multi-faceted and brilliant small-scale gems.

Review: THE GARDEN OF WORDS at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, August 17 2023, 11:12
The renowned North London venue offers theatregoers a unique opportunity to enjoy a beautiful amalgamation of Japanese movement, puppetry and projection through The Garden of Words. Adapted from Makoto Shinkai’s sensitive story and anime, the production explores the fragility borne of loneliness experienced in a metropolis and the bonds which can form when humanity connects under strained conditions.

Review: LA CAGE AUX FOLLES at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, August 11 2023, 09:54
When La Cage aux Folles opened on Broadway back in 1983 (with a largely unchanged transfer landing at the London Palladium three years later), it broke long standing taboos and set the standard for flamboyant, gay-themed storytelling.

Review: THE CROWN JEWELS at Garrick Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, August 1 2023, 09:19
Ten years after the Stuart dynasty has been returned to the throne and with Ireland reduced to little more than a serf state, Colonel Blood (Aiden McArdle) attempts a daring heist to strike a blow against the English oppressor. Billed as a Restoration romp, a bewigged Al Murray assumes the crown as Charles II but with largely underwhelmingly results.
