From the moment you step through the doors of the N16’s rather wonderful theatre (now, perhaps confusingly, in SW12) you might be forgiven for assuming you are about to be treated, or patronised even, with a show more suited to those citizens under the age of ten but once the lights dim, with a plastic cup of punch, a packet of love-hearts in your hand, and surrounded by a multitude of combusting balloons, things begin to change.

Review: AN AMERICAN IN PARIS at the Palace Theatre, New York City
By Davor Golub Friday, March 25 2016, 10:27

Thomas Middleton’s THE REVENGER’S TRAGEDY, like most Jacobean plays, puts men centre stage, leaving very little space for women.
