Late to the party as usual this was my first visit to the Print Room Theatre Company at their relatively new home, the former Coronet Cinema, a stones throw from Notting Hill Station. It's a wonderful addition to London's sprawling Fringe Theatre scene.

Review: LEAVE TAKING at The Bush Theatre
By Nastazja Domaradzka Monday, June 4 2018, 09:44
What makes good storytelling? No, let me ask that again; what differentiates stories that are good and stories that rip right through your heart and make you hurt? One thing for sure, the success of the latter often comes from their timelessness and ability to speak to people of all generations. Relevance pours out of Bush Theatre’s revival of Winsome Pinnock’s debut play LEAVE TAKING. Despite the piece being over 30 years old, Pinnock’s words are just as haunting in 2018 Tory Britain as they must have been during the Thatcherian era.

Review: THE TWO NOBLE KINSMEN at Shakespeare’s Globe
By Nicky Allpress Monday, June 4 2018, 09:31
Two Noble Kinsmen, one of Shakespeare’s lesser known plays, jointly penned with John Fletcher, is refreshingly different whilst pleasingly familiar. Perhaps this is because it is based on Chaucer’s Knight’s Tale, but I suspect it has more to do with director, Barrie Rutter and his company, who have worked magic on a story packed with Shakespeare’s common motifs: a court from which two soldiers are banished, disguise in the woods; unrequited love and even folk performers who entertain the court.

Review: TRANSLATIONS in the Olivier at the National Theatre
By Phil Willmott Thursday, May 31 2018, 17:32
The wide expanses of the Olivier Theatre are filled with a sloping Irish bog above which fog hangs evocatively. Marooned in the midst of this is an area representing a hedge school, the type of ad hoc improvised location where poor and rural Irish received a rudimentary education in the 18th and 19th Century.

Review: TARTUFFE at the Theatre Royal Haymarket
By Phil Willmott Tuesday, May 29 2018, 23:00
The comedy TARTUFFE caused quite a stir when it was originally produced by the French actor/playwright Moliere in 1664. It's a satire on how religion is used as a smoke screen for bad behaviour and corruption and it so enraged the church that it was banned, and there were even calls for the writer to be burned at the stake.
