Hull-based theatre company Middle Child follows its prize garnering tour around the provinces, with a much deserved 4-week London run at the Arcola of Daniel Ward’s semi-autobiographical The Canary and the Crow in which a working class black kid is offered a place at a prestigious grammar school. Let the culture clash commence.

Review: FIX at the Pleasance Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, January 17 2020, 11:43
A house in the woods, its old woman occupant and a storm closing-in. What looks like a simple ‘pitch-up, fix washing machine and leave’ scenario for repairman Kevin, takes on an altogether darker and more sinister tone in Julie Tsang’s new play at The Pleasance.

Review: CYRANO DE BERGERAC at the Playhouse Theatre
By Justin Murray Monday, January 13 2020, 20:28
It’s the 1640s - or perhaps it’s today. In the Jamie Lloyd Company’s modern-dress production of CYRANO starring James McAvoy, one isn’t quite sure.
Either way Cyrano is still the fiercest fighter and wittiest wordsmith in Paris - just don’t mention his large nose, which is something of a sore point.

Review: CURTAINS at the Wyndham's Theatre

Review: CURTAINS at the Wyndham’s Theatre
By Phil Willmott Tuesday, December 24 2019, 16:08
This show is either a parody of, or an homage to, classic “backstage” musicals like KISS ME KATE and 42nd STREET, much loved works from the 1930s - 1950s about show biz folk and the perils of putting on a production. CURTAINS adds a murder mystery to the mix.
