Review: LOHENGRIN at Royal Opera House

During the Medieval period, the Germanic speaking nations of Europe were a hotbed of invention for folkloric tales often involving heroes with supernatural powers, chivalry and tests of faith. Richard Wagner used material from one such epic 15th century poem Lorengel as the major source for the libretto when composing his 3-Act opera Lohengrin set originally in 10th century Antwerp.

Review: ANYONE CAN WHISTLE at Southwark Playhouse

Stephen Sondheim and Arthur Laurents’ third collaboration ANYONE CAN WHISTLE, — a satirical absurdist comedy musical from 1964 — is set in a small town where the corrupt local politicians wield influence over absolutely everything from the local mental asylum to the narrative around ‘miracles’ (which are used to bolster tourism and fill City Hall’s coffers).

Review: THE FEVER SYNDROME at Hampstead Theatre

Renowned fertility trailblazer Professor Richard Myers, (Robert Lindsay) has a degenerative condition. The imminent presentation to him of a lifetime achievement award causes his 3 grown offspring to descend upon the New York brownstone where they grew-up and which he still inhabits with his third wife Megan (Alexandra Gilbreath who acts as carer to his irascible invalid). Reliving experiences and reverting to childhood behaviours, the three siblings display their vastly differing personalities as they discuss their father’s illness, his money and even how to secure their share of it when he passes.
