Review: CORIOLANUS at Olivier Theatre, National

Shakespeare’s third tragic Roman tale, (completed c.1608 shortly after Antony and Cleopatra), tells of Caius Marcius a high born patrician who as deputy commander of the Roman army, earns considerable respect, prestige and the agnomen of Coriolanus when he successfully defeats the Volscians through a siege of their city of Corioli.

Review: BUYER AND CELLAR at King’s Head Theatre

Penned by Jonathan Tolins and directed by Kirk Jameson who was visible on press night up in the tech box which overlooks the stage (clutching a fluffy dog throughout the performance), BUYER AND CELLAR is the fictional story of an out of work gay actor Alex More played by Rob Madge, who lands a weirdly nightmarish dream job at Dream Home, Barbra Streisand’s oceanfront property on Zumirez Drive, Malibu.
