Review: FASHION FREAK SHOW at The Roundhouse

Freakishly-funky, frivolously-fripperous, fabulously-flamboyant, fragrant and fantastic — it’s everything a fun-loving fashionista could dream of.

The life of French fashion designer Jean-Paul Gaultier (he of the horizontal striped naval costumes and extravagantly sexual perfume adverts) hit the Roundhouse on Tuesday evening after months of pre-publicity. So did the show live up to the hype?

Review: MUCH ADO ABOUT NOTHING at National Theatre, Lyttelton

Much Ado… is generally considered one of Shakespeare’s more playful comedies (due mainly to the witty exchanges between Beatrice and Benedick, who repeatedly deny their obvious attraction for one another). But there is also the matter of a maiden’s undoing, brought about by rumour and slander concocted by envious and greedy men. The Lyttelton’s production strongly embraces both comic and tragic elements.

Review: JACK ABSOLUTE FLIES AGAIN at the Olivier Theatre

Jack Absolute Flies Again is a proper, old-fashioned farce. It’s silly, slapstick, and the jokes shoot at you as fast as if they’re being dropped from a Hurricane bomber.
