Review: Tom, Dick & Harry at the Alexandra Palace

By Miriam Gibson Monday, August 8 2022, 11:31

Tom, Dick & Harry “Gentlemen, if we pull this off it will be the greatest escape mankind has ever made”. Low stakes, then, in this enjoyable play depicting of the escape from Stalag Luft III Prisoner of War camp.

Tom, Dick & Harry begins in 1943, with a motley crew of captured airmen imprisoned in Stalag Luft camp in Nazi Germany. British pilots Ballard and Wings are the stereotypical posh-boy pilots seen in many stories about the RAF. But Tom, Dick & Harry also shines a light on airmen from across Europe, as well as Australia and the Caribbean. The band of heroes is winning, if broadly-drawn.

Review: ALL OF US at The Dorfman, National Theatre

By Stuart King Friday, August 5 2022, 09:36

There can be few taboo subjects which induce the level of instantaneously awkward and uncomfortable human interactions than confronting unexpected physical disability. In Ms Wobbly’s funny and moving play ALL OF US, the audience are let off lightly, for it is largely a joy and although painful in sections, ultimately enlightening and thought-provoking.

Review: TASTING NOTES at the Southwark Playhouse

By Stuart King Saturday, July 30 2022, 09:41

Tasting Notes which has just opened at Southwark Playhouse — and is billed as a new musical with legs (vinophiles will get the reference) — should perhaps more correctly be titled “Six Characters in Search of a Wine Bar” (or even, “Six Characters in Search of a Place to Drown their Sorrows”).
