Review: THE MOTIVE AND THE CUE at National Theatre, Lyttelton

It’s 1964 and movie star Richard Burton (Johnny Flynn) is in rehearsals for a production of Hamlet on Broadway. The stakes couldn’t be higher for the Welshman who tied the knot with Elizabeth Taylor (Tuppence Middleton) a mere 3 weeks before opening night. At the helm, Shakespearean titan Sir John Gielgud (Mark Gatiss) whose poetic appreciation for the text and manner of classical delivery, inform his directorial style and are entirely at odds with Burton’s ferocious modern vision.

Review: GLORY RIDE at Charing Cross Theatre

When you learn that a musical theatre treatment is planned which will shine a spotlight on the heroic actions of a figure from history — especially an unassuming sporting hero who used his celebrity for good and at great personal risk — you long for the end result to be as iridescent as the man’s deeds. Sadly GLORY RIDE which tells the story of cyclist Gino Bartali (Josh St Clair) is an inadequate and disappointingly stilted effort.
