Review: THE SEAGULL at Barbican
By Stuart King Saturday, March 22 2025, 11:58
In the midst of the Russian countryside, with fold-away chairs ranged around the edge of a lake and a dense cornfield acting as a backdrop to aid playful entrances and exits, Chekhov’s classic THE SEAGULL is performed as you’ve never before experienced it.

Review: RETROGRADE at the Apollo Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, March 20 2025, 09:09
After playing the first besuited, black, on-screen doctor in No Way Out, the young Sidney Poitier is a hot property and on the verge of stardom. But this is 1955 and the studios have to place the concerns and considerations of their sponsors, front and centre.

Review: WEATHER GIRL at Soho Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, March 12 2025, 10:52
It’s clear that WEATHER GIRL’s writer Brian Watkins, feels warm and fuzzy when he contemplates Darwin’s theory of natural selection! Fires are raging in California and our intrepid weather girl Stacey (Julia McDermott) is on location, delivering sunshine smiles in front of a burning homestead. We later learn that the charred ruins were home to a family of climate change deniers who believed the fire department’s evacuation warnings were a government conspiracy. QED!
