Review: TARTUFFE at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
By Phil Willmott Tuesday, May 29 2018, 23:00
The comedy TARTUFFE caused quite a stir when it was originally produced by the French actor/playwright Moliere in 1664. It's a satire on how religion is used as a smoke screen for bad behaviour and corruption and it so enraged the church that it was banned, and there were even calls for the writer to be burned at the stake.

3WOMEN by comedian Katy Brand is currently playing at Trafalgar studios and critics are either embracing or rejecting its feel good sit-com charms.

Review: THE GIFT OF THE GAB at The White Bear
By Phil Willmott Tuesday, May 22 2018, 14:44
This was my first visit to the White Bear Theatre in Kennington since it’s been refurbished. The pub is now spacious and airy, serving delicious looking food with a lovely beer garden at the back for early evening, summer socialising. The theatre has now moved upstairs and is a comfortable, focussed little space in which to enjoy up-close encounters with new writing and classics.
