Miriam enjoys going to the theatre as an escape from the crippling horror of adult life. Her favourite shows are Cabaret, Tusk Tusk and Home, I’m Darling. She will tell anybody who's listening about the time she met Lin-Manuel Miranda.

Review: KUNENE AND THE KING at The Ambassadors Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Wednesday, February 5 2020, 07:35
In contemporary South Africa, Jack Morris is an aging alcoholic actor, recently diagnosed with liver cancer. He's dying, but determined to stay alive long enough to star in King Lear. Lunga Kunene is the professional nurse sent to care for him. Jack is white. Kunene is black.

Second Look: & JULIET at The Shaftesbury Theatre

Next month, School of Rock will celebrate the third anniversary of its opening night at the Gillian Lynne Theatre. It’s a faithful and fun adaptation of the Jack Black movie, but there are some distracting flaws in its writing and production.
