Review: JAB at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Friday, April 4 2025, 17:00
Presented as a burst of vignettes, some of which are several minutes long, others lasting mere seconds, each scene in James McDermott’s JAB delivers a snapshot of time for a married couple before, during, and post the Covid pandemic.

Review: APEX PREDATOR at Hampstead Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, April 3 2025, 09:27
APEX PREDATOR delivers a modern twist on the vampire story, with sufficient nods to the past to keep it relevant to lovers of the genre. But does it induce toothy titillation or tedium?

Review: RHINOCEROS at Almeida
By Stuart King Wednesday, April 2 2025, 09:50
Eugène Ionesco’s RHINOCEROS was first performed at the end of the 1950s and was created as a direct result of the playwright’s experience with Romania’s Iron Guard, the country’s equivalent of the Nazi Party.

Review: STILETTO at Charing Cross Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, April 1 2025, 09:39
Beneath the dramatic and imposing sight of Venice’s eternal symbol (the winged lion of St Mark), the city bustles about its business. Catholic patronage and trading wealth no longer vie for supremacy, but instead make for easy and comfortable bedfellows in 1730.
