Review: MEASURE FOR MEASURE at the Barbican Theatre
By Justin Murray Wednesday, November 20 2019, 20:06
Measure for Measure is a messy play, and famously one of Shakespeare’s most controversial, a fact writ large on the RSC’s production playing at the Barbican until January.

Review: TOUCHING THE VOID at The Duke Of York’s Theatre
By John Yap Thursday, November 14 2019, 09:54
The book was a best seller. The film was a surprising hit. Why does the stage adaptation seem totally redundant and unnecessary?
There is no doubt that reading Joe Simpson’s account of his four days of a “life and death” ordeal, being injured and trapped in the Peruvian Andes all by himself can be very engrossing and thrilling.

Review: THE LION THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE at The Bridge Theatre

The children's classic, The Lion, The Witch and the Wardrobe by CS Lewis is an epic tale, and not, you might think, the easiest of books to set on stage.The good news is, that under the direction of Sally Cookson, inventive design by Rae Smith, and a multi talented ensemble, the audience are quickly immersed, having been asked if we have our evacuation slips,on a magical journey journey, into the fantasy world of Narnia.


Review: THE TAMING OF THE SHREW at The Barbican Theatre, London
By John Yap Tuesday, November 12 2019, 15:24
Shakespeare’s problematic play THE TAMING OF THE SHREW is given a new “revised” production by the Royal Shakespeare Company, in their old London home after performances in Stratford earlier this year. It still remains a problematic play and even more confusing for anyone not familiar with the original play in this “revised” version.
