Review: KILLING THE CAT at Riverside Studios

With book and lyrics by Warner Brown and music by Joshua Schmidt, new musical KILLING THE CAT has opened for a limited run at Riverside Studios in Hammersmith. Unimaginatively directed by Jenny Eastop the semi-staged production and a cast of 5 with mere keyboards, cello and drums for accompaniment, regale the audience with 27 songs over the course of the show, but there is limited value in naming any of the numbers given the uniformly bland nature of the compositions.

Review: AKHNATEN at ENO London Coliseum

Forming the last part of Philip Glass’ trilogy of what he termed portrait operas in which he cast an eye over the lives of three notable figures from the worlds of science, politics and religion, Akhnaten follows Einstein and Gandhi as his final subject for treatment.
