Review: OTHELLO at Shakespeare’s Globe
By Stuart King Saturday, August 4 2018, 07:43
Plays about jealousy, envy, passion and amorous lust, must have seemed a-dime-a-dozen in Shakespeare’s day.
Here we go again at The Globe with OTHELLO, hot(ish) on the heels of London’s last notable foray into the world of Venetian military intrigue and apparent marital betrayal (The National’s 2013 production, in which Adrian Lester and Rory Kinnear played the Blackamoor and his long-time military comrade, Iago).

Review: DARK IN THE WATER at the White Bear, Kennington

Upon entering the White Bear Pub I'm struck by the beauty of the pub's interior – more like an airy time capsule to a former golden age.

Self proclaimed ‘professional idiots’ The Lampoons revive their re-imagining of William Castle’s 1959 American Film Horror “The House On Haunted Hill” – a film starring Vincent Price who offers a $10,000 prize to five strangers if they are able to survive one night at his haunted house. The Lampoons are off to Edinburgh, and I highly encourage you add them to your list.
