Review: THE REVLON GIRL at THE PARK 90

The Revlon Girl - Park Theatre Having only opened in May 2013, The Park Theatre is a relatively new space, however, since it opened it has had 3 West End and 2 National Theatre transfers as well as 10 national tours, so sets a high precedent for the shows that follow.

Review: OSLO at the National Theatre

Oslo - Harold Pinter Theatre You won't want to miss this extremely classy evening that's intellectually fascinating, very entertaining and showcases the very best of New York and London's theatre talent.

The knotty but engaging play premiered on Broadway last year. It collected a raft of top U.S theatre awards before being remounted with the same director but a British cast for this brief run at the National Theatre, before it transfers to Harold Pinter Theatre in the West End.
