This was my first visit to Cervantes Theatre and I was really impressed. It’s a few doors along from the Union Theatre, where I direct a lot, and occupies a similar floor space seating around 80 people on three sides of the acting area. Whereas the Union makes a charming asset of being shabby chic, this venue feels proper chic with smart matching seats and a cute little bar upstairs.

Review: THE GLASS PIANO at The Coronet Theatre
By Tim Winter Friday, May 3 2019, 18:32
Is it a fairy story? Is it a panto? Is it a children's show? Is it a comedy? Is it a philosophical exploration of language, freedom, rule of law, social hierarchies and the power of love? No, it's The Glass Piano receiving its World premiere at the wonderful Coronet Theatre in Notting Hill.

Review: THE HALF GOD OF RAINFALL at The Kiln Theatre
By Max Lewendel Thursday, May 2 2019, 14:29
This modern, Nigerian/American Fairy story is well worth telling but some powerful acting from Rakie Ayola (Modupe) and a brilliant sound design by Tanuja Amarasuriya is not enough to save poor dialogue, distracting lighting, and lack of creativity in staging. With such a small cast, Inua Ellams new play may be more suitable to a literary audience than a theatrical one.

Review: SMALL ISLAND at the Olivier, National Theatre
By Stuart King Thursday, May 2 2019, 13:33
Infused with a genuine affection and compassion, this theatrical version of the late Andrea Levy’s most celebrated, multi-prize winning novel, is a fitting tribute to the author, who died on St Valentine’s Day this year.

Review: ROSMERSHOLM at The Duke of York's
By Marian Pashley Thursday, May 2 2019, 13:22
The curtain rises to reveal a stunningly detailed and evocative set, the interior of a hauntingly shadowed and seemingly twilit, dust sheet covered room. The walls were hung with many partially obscured portraits, the wooden floors looked ancient and worn to smoothness.
