Neil Gaiman's massively popular children's story 'Coraline' has already made it from the page to the big screen and now finds itself on the Barbican stage as an opera for family audiences, commissioned by The Royal Opera House, with music by the one-time 'bad boy' of British contemporary music, Mark-Anthony Turnage, and with a great libretto by playwright Rory Mullarkey.

Review: ALL OR NOTHING at The Ambassadors Theatre
By Nicola Wright Friday, March 30 2018, 11:36
After a long tour and a limited run at The Arts Theatre, ALL OR NOTHING, the Mod musical, transfers to the Ambassadors Theatre. Thanks to the small size of this West End theatre, the show retains an intimate feel and the audience are fully immersed into the music and journey of pop group The Small Faces.

Review: THE INHERITANCE at the Young Vic
By Phil Willmott Friday, March 30 2018, 11:12
This is an epic production of what will be regarded as a landmark piece of gay drama, by young New Yorker Matthew Lopez.
In Stephen Daldry’s elegant production, on Bob Crowley’s beautiful, simple and evocative set it feels, and is, epic; lasting seven-hours and performed in two parts, over two performances.

Review: RUTHLESS at the Arts Theatre
By Phil Willmott Wednesday, March 28 2018, 14:33
RUTHLESS is a small scale, off Broadway musical from 1992 by Joel Paley and Marvin Laird, with just 6 characters, all of them female, one played by a man in drag. The drag element is a useful way to describing the tone of the piece which presents women not as nuanced 3 dimensional characters but as the kind of grotesques that some gay men like to dress up as and emulate.
