Review: A CHORUS LINE at Sadlers Wells

Few Broadway musicals come more Broadway than A CHORUS LINE. It’s the sort of show which has critics scrambling for epithets and idioms long before any production has opened and in the main, you can be sure they will be tired reworkings of Singular(ly) Sensation(al)!

Review: THE YEARS at Almeida

For many, Annie Ernaux has only truly achieved prominence since becoming the first Frenchwoman to win the Nobel Prize for Literature in 2022, at the tender age of 82. Her writing style deploys an awareness of self which resonates truth and simplicity through an unflinching depiction of events experienced, and the times in which they occurred. In THE YEARS (which is an English adaptation by Stephanie Bain, based on Director Eline Arbo’s Dutch translation of Les années) a cast of five women take us on a journey of the author’s life from 1941-2006… and what an incredible journey it proves to be.
