Review: PASSING STRANGE at Young Vic

With four on stage musicians and a further seven performers, Broadway’s winner of the Tony for Best Book of a Musical in 2008 has finally made the leap across the pond, settling into the Young Vic’s space for the summer. In so doing, it demonstrates why it proved such a surprise hit in New York, running for six months during its initial outing despite (or perhaps in spite of) its less than conventional format.

Review: THE BOOK OF GRACE at Arcola

A patrol officer Vet who lives on the Mexico-Texas border with his much younger second wife Grace, is to be awarded a medal for his service. The presentation ceremony offers the couple an opportunity to patch things up with the patrolman’s estranged son Buddy by inviting him to attend. But will he come, and if he does, will everything go to plan, and just whose plan is it anyway? Directed by Femi Elufowoju jr, this simmering 2010 drama by Suzan-Lori Parks receives its UK premier at Arcola Theatre.
