Review: THE CROWN JEWELS at Garrick Theatre

By Stuart King Tuesday, August 1 2023, 09:19

Ten years after the Stuart dynasty has been returned to the throne and with Ireland reduced to little more than a serf state, Colonel Blood (Aiden McArdle) attempts a daring heist to strike a blow against the English oppressor. Billed as a Restoration romp, a bewigged Al Murray assumes the crown as Charles II but with largely underwhelmingly results.

Review: WORD-PLAY at Royal Court, Jerwood Upstairs

Following an operation to remove a brain tumour, playwright Rabiah Hussain suffered Asphasia, an inability to read, write, speak and understand words. Her new theatre piece WORD-PLAY currently occupies the Jerwood Upstairs space at the Royal Court and serves as a timely reminder of the power of words — especially when abused by politicians.
