Review: NACHTLAND at Young Vic

Boasting a cast of 6 accomplished performers and a painting purported to be by Hitler, Marius von Mayenburg’s NACHTLAND (with a translation by Mara Zade) is one of those plays which becomes evermore difficult to categorise as one considers the sometimes baffling elements from which it has been constituted. Perhaps… funny satire with considerable potential to trigger, will suffice.

First look: STANDING AT THE SKY'S EDGE, Gillian Lynne Theatre

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.

Review: DOUBLE FEATURE at Hampstead Theatre

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.
