Set in one flat, this musical tells the story of three families from 1960 to the present. A sentimental and engaging narrative about life, culture, and history. All told through their connection with the iconic Park Hill estate in Sheffield.

John Logan is an experienced American playwright whose screen credits include Gladiator, The Aviator and Skyfall. His previous plays include Peter and Alice, and Red, so it was with a sense of excited anticipation that this reviewer headed to Hampstead Theatre for the press night of DOUBLE FEATURE.

Dodie Smith’s 1938 between-the-wars family drama is set at the rustic middle-class home of the Randolph family, where several generations have gathered to celebrate Dora and Charles’ golden wedding anniversary. On Frankie Bradshaw’s wonderful, pastel-jade revolving set complete with real smoking fires (who knew such things were possible on a theatre stage in these modern safety-conscious times?), the family pervades an air of stoic calm in the face of minor and not-so-minor familial irritations, as another European conflict seems imminent.

Last seen at Sadler’s Wells in 2005, NELKEN is steeped in dance history and leans on a veritable smorgasbord of music drawn from the 1930s and 1940s. The eagle-eared will recognise, Richard Tauber, Gershwin, Franz Lehar and Sophie Tucker accompanying the troupe of over 20 performers as they deliver the walking dance which depicts the four seasons.
