Review: TARTUFFE at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
By Phil Willmott Tuesday, May 29 2018, 23:00
The comedy TARTUFFE caused quite a stir when it was originally produced by the French actor/playwright Moliere in 1664. It's a satire on how religion is used as a smoke screen for bad behaviour and corruption and it so enraged the church that it was banned, and there were even calls for the writer to be burned at the stake.

Review: HAMLET at Shakespeare’s Globe
By Nicky Allpress Wednesday, May 23 2018, 09:45
I think I’d enjoy Michelle Terry’s velvety delivery in almost any role but the part of Hamlet, particularly suited her sparky, dangerous energy and her performance gripped from start to finish.

Review: AS YOU LIKE IT at Shakespeare’s Globe
By Nicky Allpress Wednesday, May 23 2018, 08:49
Congratulations to the Globe's new Artistic Director, Michelle Terry. This was simple storytelling at its brightest. Notable for its sweet clarity, there’s minimalism all round in this production, pared back to allow the glorious text to shine. And it’s funny – very funny, laughter crackling through the courtyard as the company relish in a very assured production.
