Park Theatre has proved itself an exceedingly productive nursery for developing new work during its first 9 years and despite the hiatus of lockdown, Finsbury Park’s creative theatrical hub continues to encourage, support and develop the output of both those in the spotlight and other creative talents behind the scenes.

At the same time the show is extending its booking period yet again, this time until Sunday 5th March 2023. If you haven’t experienced the fun yet, there’s even more time to get your act together.

Review: ANYONE CAN WHISTLE at Southwark Playhouse
By Stuart King Wednesday, April 6 2022, 09:48
Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents’ third collaboration ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, — a satirical absurdist comedy musical from 1964 — is set in a small town where the corrupt local politicians wield influence over absolutely everything from the local mental asylum to the narrative around ‘miracles’ (which are used to bolster tourism and fill City Hall’s coffers).

Review: THE FEVER SYNDROME at Hampstead Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, April 5 2022, 09:46
Renowned fertility trailblazer Professor Richard Myers, (Robert Lindsay) has a degenerative condition. The imminent presentation to him of a lifetime achievement award causes his 3 grown offspring to descend upon the New York brownstone where they grew-up and which he still inhabits with his third wife Megan (Alexandra Gilbreath who acts as carer to his irascible invalid). Reliving experiences and reverting to childhood behaviours, the three siblings display their vastly differing personalities as they discuss their father’s illness, his money and even how to secure their share of it when he passes.

Review: THE WEATHERING / SOLO ECHO / DGV - DANSE À GRANDE VITESSE (ballet triple bill) at The Royal Opera House Covent Garden
By Stuart King Monday, April 4 2022, 12:20
One of the more perverse and unexpected impacts of the pandemic lockdown, has been the reduction in workforce within many sections of the arts, including those departments which support the back office functions for institutions like the Royal Opera House. The hard pushed and over-stretched Press Office team managed to miscommunicate dates for the opening of La Traviata to this particular reviewer, so rather than waste my journey into Covent Garden this past Saturday, I accepted their offer of a house seat to review the ballet triple bill aimed at highlighting the talents of some of the newer bright lights of the dance fraternity. As is usual with such contrived amalgamations, it was an enjoyable but fairly mixed offering, where humanity flirted with death in a three-sectioned, mildly post-apocalyptic pas de deux.
