First Look: THE LEHMAN TRILOGY at Gillian Lynne Theatre

In 2008, Lehman Brothers bank collapsed during the global financial crisis. The bank had began over 160 years earlier as a small shop in Alabama. Returning to the Gillian Lynne Theatre, The Lehman Trilogy tells the story of the organisation from beginning to end and, through it, the story of a family and a country.

Review: SUOR ANGELICA at ENO, London Coliseum

Puccini’s one act opera SUOR ANGELICA is usually performed as the middle part of a triptych (with Il tabarro and the more famous, Gianni Schicchi) each of which contain a hidden death. Here, the work which premiered at The Met in 1918, is included as a stand alone production in English National Opera’s current season, reimagined in 1960s Ireland by designer Yannis Thavoris.

Review: CORIOLANUS at Olivier Theatre, National

Shakespeare’s third tragic Roman tale, (completed c.1608 shortly after Antony and Cleopatra), tells of Caius Marcius a high born patrician who as deputy commander of the Roman army, earns considerable respect, prestige and the agnomen of Coriolanus when he successfully defeats the Volscians through a siege of their city of Corioli.
