Ron Elisha’s Window is a relaxed, natural two-hander that charts the emotional strain inherent in any couple’s relationship. Except in this case, the fights and fears that Grace (Idgie Beau) and Jimmy (Charles Warner) experience are reactions to their unexpected involvement in the sex life of a naked couple living across the street. At first, it’s a fascination, a piece of real-life entertainment – something to watch when curled up in bed with popcorn. But it quickly warps into a bleak mirror that reflects insecurities in their own marriage back at them. In this case, this is a Window into the soul.

To mark the 70th anniversary of India’s independence the Globe theatre have commissioned playwright Tanika Gupta to dramatise key events in the lead up to the partition of what was formerly British India. As a central focus Gupta adapts her family history concerning her grandfather’s brother Dinesh, a Bengali revolutionary (or terrorist and would-be martyr depending on your perspective) drawing upon his letters written during imprisonment.


Review: GIRL FROM THE NORTH COUNTRY at the Old Vic
By Phil Willmott Thursday, August 31 2017, 07:48
I'd heard conflicting things about this show, most of the reviews have been glowing but the New York Times critic and a few of my friends had been less enthusiastic.
