Review: LA BOHÈME at London Coliseum

Clelia Cafiero takes-up the baton to conduct this revival of Jonathan Miller’s 2009 staging of LA BOHÈME the tragic masterpiece by Giacomo Puccini who died exactly 100 years ago next month. The opera was premiered in 1896 at Turin and was an immediate success, remaining in the popular opera repertoire ever since. The simple story has spawned a number of other works, most notably Jonathan Larson’s 1996 musical Rent.

Review: A TUPPERWARE OF ASHES at Dorfman, National Theatre

Pooja Ghai directs Tanika Gupta’s latest play about a British Indian family coming to terms with the matriarch’s gradual decline and loss of faculties due to mental illness. Central to the beautiful and nuanced production, is a towering performance by Meera Syal as Queenie, a renowned and combative Michelin-star rated chef who is the epitome of the Indian life force.
