When news of its existence began circulating many moons ago, there seemed something delightfully subversive about the prospect of Elton John and Jake Shears combining their songwriting talents to create a musical based on the tumultuous life of one of the Christian Evangelical movement’s most unforgettable, beloved, pilloried, reviled and eventually rehabilitated television personalities, Tammy Faye Bakker.

Review: A SINGLE MAN at Park Theatre
By Stuart King Monday, October 24 2022, 10:22
Tom Ford electrified the movie world in 2009 with his gorgeously soft-focussed, cinematic adaptation of Christopher Isherwood’s novel about a bereaved gay teacher, set in the early 1960s amidst Santa Monica’s swinging set.

Review: MY NEIGHBOUR TOTORO at the Barbican Theatre

There are two types of people in the world: people who love Studio Ghibli movies, and people who’ve never heard of them. My Neighbour Totoro will be most loved by the former group, but just about enjoyable by the latter.


Review: GOOD at Harold Pinter Theatre
By Stuart King Tuesday, October 18 2022, 00:05
David Tennant must be one of our hardest working actors. He never seems to be off our televisions, cinema screens, West End stages and the radio. Here’s your chance to catch him live and in-person, every evening until 24th December as he leads a revival of C.P. Taylor’s hard-hitting play GOOD which was first performed at the Donmar Warehouse back in 1981. But be warned, this is far from frivolous fluff.
