Review: LA BOHEME at the Royal Opera House
By Stuart King Tuesday, June 19 2018, 14:52
Last year, the Royal Opera House took the bold step of commissioning a replacement for John Copley’s 1974 Bohème which had served as a mainstay of its repertoire for 41 years. Bolder still, was the decision to ask Richard Jones to direct the new production.

Review: CAFE SOCIETY SWING at the Theatre Royal, Stratford East
By Stuart King Friday, June 8 2018, 06:47
It would be very easy to like this piece. It would also be very easy to dislike it - and oddly enough, for exactly the same reasons.
We’re in Greenwich Village, New York at the tail end of 1938. Prohibition ended 5 years ago and various clubs (all offering alcohol and entertainment) have sprung up to cater to the seemingly limitless demand of white, wealthy, east coast Americans.
