Aren't we lucky to have the Royal Albert Hall and in such a good state of repair? Heaven only knows how they afford to keep it so lovely but walking in to this magnificent building is always like walking into a fairy tale. You can easily imagine glamorous people from a bygone age strolling through the corridors and it looks particularly gorgeous with strings of Christmas lights around every balcony.

Review: LES LIAISONS DANGEREUSES at the Donmar Warehouse
By Phil Willmott Friday, January 8 2016, 08:42
Back in the 1980s when greed was good and power was sexy this adaptation of an 18th century French novel was a massive hit.
It concerns an unhealthy alliance between a male and female aristocrat who've nothing else to do but plot how to ruin their acquaintances through scandal and heart break, their weapon is their own attractiveness.

Review of THE DAZZLE at Found 111
By Phil Willmott Monday, December 28 2015, 10:34
Andrew Scott is undoubtedly one of the most watchable and clever actors in the UK.
I first noticed him in two scorching performances at the National Theatre including as the lead in Ibsen’s vast rambling epic, EMPEROR AND GALILEAN in which he brilliantly played a charismatic leader from youthful idealism to self-doubt and introspection; holding his own amidst a huge cast and towering set which could easily have engulfed an actor of his age. In the last few years he’s attained celebrity status as Moriarty, Sherlock Holmes’ arch enemy in the Benedict Cumberbatch re-boot of the detective’s adventures on TV.

Review: BULL at The Young Vic
By Hugh Wooldridge Friday, December 18 2015, 08:46
I have seen three Mike Bartlett plays this year - the career-defining performance of Tim Piggott Smith as King Charles lII in New York; Love, Love, Love, probably the best production of a play I've seen at a drama school - brilliantly directed by Sarah Esdaile at LAMDA; and, tonight, Bull at the Young Vic. Mike Bartlett is one of the finest writers of the day; to say I am a fan is a gross understatement.
