What an enticing prospect. Cush Jumbo and Anne-Marie Duff, young women who, in recent years, have firmly established themselves as two of the finest actors of their generation starring together in a big, new play on the massive Olivier Theatre stage; a venue which has frequently proved itself as the perfect crucible in which to examine our national identity.

Review: A new MATILDA takes the stage at the Cambridge Theatre
By Nicola Wright Tuesday, June 6 2017, 07:10
When a little girl you have known since she was five is cast as Matilda you go along to one of her first performances with an open mind and ready to be entertained. I was not disappointed!
The new cast of children (one of four teams alternating performances) are superb and deserve the standing ovation they received. Emma Moore is one of four children cast as Matilda and her confidence and stage presence is extraordinary from one so young. Emma captivates the audience, just as Matilda enthrals the character of Mrs Phelps, the librarian, who she entertains with stories.

Review: LA STRADA at The Other Palace
By Steve Markwick Friday, June 2 2017, 20:59
Based on Fellini’s 1954 film, La Strada is a terrific ensemble piece devised by the company under Sally Cookson’s direction with “writer in the room” Mike Akers. The show follows faithfully the story of Fellini’s film but more importantly it stays true to the fairy tale spirit of the original.
