Review: THE LITTLE BIG THINGS at @sohoplace
By Stuart King Friday, September 15 2023, 08:17
When the third son in a family of vibrant and committed rugby fans succumbs to a swimming accident whilst on holiday with his brothers in Portugal, the world changes overnight — for everyone. THE LITTLE BIG THINGS is a zingingly fresh story which manages to tick all the right boxes as it combines comedy with a soupçon of schmaltz, but mercifully manages to avoid musical theatre cliché and cynicism.

Review: PRIVATE LIVES at Ambassadors Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, September 14 2023, 16:23
Noel Coward’s perennial comedy of warring coupledom has been dusted-off for yet another outing in the West End, and it has aged surprisingly well — or perhaps this reviewer has simply begun to feel an alarming sense of nostalgia for the plays which were considered tired old warhorses in his youth!

Review: RED PITCH at Bush Theatre
By Stuart King Wednesday, September 13 2023, 09:54
Three 16-year old, black South London youths, look for stability in their ever-changing urban landscape. The red football pitch they’ve known all their lives is under constant threat from redevelopers and as the responsibilities of adulthood beckon, each has to evaluate his place in the world and the group.

Known to all Japanese manga fans, DEATH NOTE is a story by Tsugumi Ohba and Takeshi Obata which involves a mythological Shinigami death god Ryuk (George Maguire), his discarded notebook and the adventures of the Tokyo student who stumbles upon it. Until Sunday you too can witness this extraordinarily individual production in the West End.

Review: CANDY at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, August 24 2023, 22:27
Park Theatre’s smaller space is all-a-shimmer for the foreseeable future as it hosts CANDY, a one-man debut play by Tim Fraser, produced and performed by Michael Waller. The shimmering comes from the shining copper strands which cling to the walls and surround the audience, creating a workingmen’s club ‘bingo night’ atmosphere.
