Review: WITNESS FOR THE PROSECUTION at London County Hall
By Phil Willmott Thursday, April 11 2019, 12:38
What a brilliant idea director Lucy Bailey and designer William Dudley have had. Simply and cleverly staged in the round this production of Agatha Christie’s vintage courtroom drama makes perfect use of the abandoned council chamber in County Hall.

Review: THE COMEDY ABOUT A BANK ROBBERY at the Criterion Theatre
By Phil Willmott Friday, April 5 2019, 12:48
It’s fun to catch up with the West End’s long running shows so I was delighted to be invited to see this hit comedy on its third birthday. And I was even more delighted to discover that it’s as funny as everyone says.
This is a product of Mischief Theatre, who are an extraordinary phenomenon, a company whose work can fill venues across the world with non-musicals without star names or already popular titles.

Review: JACK THE RIPPER: THE WOMEN OF WHITECHAPEL at the Coliseum Theatre
By Phil Willmott Wednesday, April 3 2019, 16:24
This misguided project from one of the UK’s biggest opera companies, English National Opera (ENO) is so motivated by good intentions that I find it had to be as dismissive as most other critics have been, especially as, for me, it had enough effective individual moments to warrant four stars.
