It has been over a hundred years since the famous magician Henry Houdini performed one of his great escape acts in front of over 4000 people at London’s Hippodrome. This summer the production of Impossible at the Noel Coward Theatre brings back magic to the capital with its attempt to give It a fresh and a contemporary twist.

Review of Dear Lupin at the Apollo Theatre
By Davor Golub Saturday, August 1 2015, 08:30
Despite having lived in the United Kingdom for over 25 years the upper class English male remains for me a somewhat inscrutable species. Dear Lupin, now playing at the Apollo Theatre and starring father and son team James Fox and Jack Fox, goes some way in attempting to reveal how men of this class relate, or rather don’t relate, with their nearest and dearest.


Review of Seven Brides For Seven Brothers

Open Air Theatre, Regents Park. I doubt there's a more uplifting, toe tapping, romantic, grin inducing evening of theatrical joy in London this month then Regent's Park Open Air Theatre's revival of Seven Brides for Seven Brothers.


American Idiot at the Arts Theatre
By Phil Willmott Saturday, July 25 2015, 08:45
I first saw Green Day’s AMERICAN IDIOT on Broadway and really enjoyed the spectacle of the vast production melding projections with jaw-dropping mid air acrobatics. I wouldn’t have imagined it working in a more intimate setting but director/choreographer Racky Plews has done an incredible job in reducing the spectacle at the Arts Theatre whilst retaining all the intensity of the original. If anything it actually works better now it’s more human in scale.


Review of As Is at the Trafalgar Studios
By Phil Willmott Friday, July 24 2015, 16:34
If you love a good weepy this revival of the first play written about the AIDS crisis in the 1980s is the show for you.
It was a terrible time of fear, prejudice and horror but as is often the case in periods of turmoil it also inspired great acts of compassion and bravery.
