Review: BEST OF ENEMIES at the Noel Coward Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Monday, December 5 2022, 11:33
“There are two things I shall no longer be turning down,” announces Gore Vidal, played by a sardonic Zachary Quinto in Best of Enemies, “Sex, and television appearances".
It’s the late 1960s and TV is a new and exciting business in the USA. News needn’t just be “What happened?” any longer, it can be “What do you think?”. That’s what the ABC executives reckon at least, worried that their network is becoming the least-watched channel as they enter an election year.

Review: MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO at the Barbican Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Wednesday, October 19 2022, 11:19
There are two types of people in the world: people who love Studio Ghibli movies, and people who’ve never heard of them. My Neighbour Totoro will be most loved by the former group, but just about enjoyable by the latter.

Review: BACK TO THE FUTURE at the Adelphi Theatre
By Miriam Gibson Monday, September 12 2022, 09:53
Back To The Future: The Musical will only appeal to fans of the original film….so that’s pretty much everybody.
From the bar to the curtain, the Adelphi Theatre’s design sets the scene for show’s sci-fi theme. Bob Gale’s adaptation of the movie’s script is a faithful one. There are very few plot changes, and all the favourite jokes remain- Calvin Klein, Ronald Reagan, “Why don’t you make like a tree and get outta here?!”.

Review: Tom, Dick & Harry at the Alexandra Palace
By Miriam Gibson Monday, August 8 2022, 11:31
“Gentlemen, if we pull this off it will be the greatest escape mankind has ever made”. Low stakes, then, in this enjoyable play depicting of the escape from Stalag Luft III Prisoner of War camp.
Tom, Dick & Harry begins in 1943, with a motley crew of captured airmen imprisoned in Stalag Luft camp in Nazi Germany. British pilots Ballard and Wings are the stereotypical posh-boy pilots seen in many stories about the RAF. But Tom, Dick & Harry also shines a light on airmen from across Europe, as well as Australia and the Caribbean. The band of heroes is winning, if broadly-drawn.
