If you’re heading for a night out in Soho and are in need of a loud, chaotic, but thoroughly fun precursor, Oscar At The Crown is the play for you. Moreover, seeing this play at its custom-built bunker-come-discotheque venue in 213-4 Tottenham Court Road could easily be your entire night out.

The overwhelming majority of UK citizens will not have heard of Iolanda Cristina Gigliotti better known as multi-lingual singer Dalida who was born in 1933 to Italian parents based at Cairo, Egypt, where her violinist father died of a brain abscess when she was 12. As the show recounts, it was the first of many tragedies in the short life of the chanteuse, which eventually led to her committing suicide in 1987.

Intoxicated tales from darkest Soho in the form of Matthew Bourne’s THE MIDNIGHT BELL, eschews Noel Coward’s passé and draws favourable comparison with the grittier elements of 1930s London found in the works of Graham Greene and Somerset Maugham.

Adam Kinneen’s Dick shows promise with moments of brilliant intensity, but its meandering philosophy had me yearning for more in the second act.

Twenty-Five years ago Sarah Kane’s last play 4.48 PSYCHOSIS was performed at the Royal Court with Daniel Evans, Jo McInnes and Madeleine Potter. It served as a fitting tribute to the young playwright who had died the year before and was considered a leading light of the In-yer-face-theatre movement (if indeed it could be described as a movement, then, or now).
