By Stuart King Thursday, June 22 2023, 00:33

Martin McDonagh’s absurdist and sinister black comedy THE PILLOWMAN has begun a London revival at the Duke of York’s which is set to continue through the summer. The play was first presented at the National Theatre back in 2003, with David Tennant and Jim Broadbent. Here, Lily Allen and Steve Pemberton assume the roles of Katurian the writer of macabre short stories, and Detective Tupolski the police interrogator.

Review: DEAR ENGLAND at National Theatre Olivier

By Stuart King Wednesday, June 21 2023, 14:55

The ubiquitous triumvirate of playwright James Graham, director Rupert Goold and set designer Es Devlin has cast a unified sense of magic over the beautiful game for its latest combined theatrical offering. DEAR ENGLAND plays at the National Theatre and when those moments of collective national nail-biting are replayed and relived on the Olivier stage, they’ll leave audiences with their hearts in their mouths all over again.
