Review: YOUR EVER LOVING at Theatre N16

Your Ever Loving - Theatre N16 1974 London. Paul Hill gets arrested for The Guildford Pub bombing. Hill, Gerry Conlon, Patrick Armstrong and Carole Richardson soon become known as The Guildford Four and are convicted of murder and sentenced to life imprisonment. In Martin McNamara’s YOUR EVER LOVING, playing at THEATRE N16, directors Jamie Eastlake and Sarah Chapleo tell Paul Hill’s story, a story of a man who spent 15 years in prison for a crime he did not commit.

Review: FUNNY GIRL at the Savoy Theatre

Funny Girl ‘Triumphant’ was the metaphor most used when ‘Funny Girl’ opened at the Chocolate Menier Factory last year, and that triumph has now seen it blast its way onto the Savoy stage with a glitzy, high profile production that is sure to grab even more headlines on an extended run until October. Was the hype justified? Not just of star Sheridan Smith, but the production itself?

Review: SHOW BOAT at the New London Theatre

Show Boat - The Musical In 1927 Jerome Kern and Oscar Hammerstein II took the courageous step of basing a musical on Edna Ferber’s novel exploring 40 years of a theatre company ‘s life on a Mississippi Riverboat. By doing so, they set off a chain reaction in the world of musical theatre that proved that this then trivial art form could comment on more serious aspects of the human condition. In Show Boat, alongside the usual but more developed vicissitudes of love, they threw the spotlight on racial prejudices in society.
