Review: THE BRIGHTENING AIR at The Old Vic

In the programme notes for THE BRIGHTENING AIR, playwright director Conor McPherson compares theatre to a pagan church. “…like a religious service, theatre is a distillation of the baffling privilege of being alive.”

Review: THE GREAT GATSBY at London Coliseum

When F Scott Fitzgerald’s third novel THE GREAT GATSBY was published in 1925, it was generally considered to be a weaker effort than his earlier works This Side of Paradise and The Beautiful and Damned. It wasn’t until distribution among American GIs during WWII that the novel gained widespread popularity and began to garner the reputation it holds to this day as a classic of American literature.
