Review: GOATS at The Royal Court Theatre
By Stuart King Monday, December 4 2017, 10:02

MEN IN MOTION was set to thrill dance audiences once more with a limited run at the London Coliseum this month. Ballet superstar Ivan Putrov assembled a cast and promised to explore 100 years of male dance emphasis and influence in a 100-minute programme. A tall order perhaps, but an exciting prospect.

Review: NETWORK at the National Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, November 14 2017, 16:57
Lee Hall’s stage adaptation of Paddy Chayefsky’s multi award-winning movie from 1976, played to a packed and enthusiastic audience at last evening’s Press Night. The production’s box office success is already guaranteed for the duration of its run (although some day seats are available), due in no small part to the casting of Bryan Cranston (Breaking Bad, Trumbo) as TV News anchorman, Howard Beale. The part won Peter Finch an Oscar for his portrayal which sadly had to be awarded posthumously.
