Composer and librettist Gerald Barry, has concocted a surrealist world using as its basis, an amalgamation of Lewis Carroll’s Alice stories. The result is a riotous, fast-paced, fantastically energetic, kaleidoscopic Wonderland, for all ages, (though perhaps not all ears)!

In contemporary South Africa, Jack Morris is an aging alcoholic actor, recently diagnosed with liver cancer. He's dying, but determined to stay alive long enough to star in King Lear. Lunga Kunene is the professional nurse sent to care for him. Jack is white. Kunene is black.

Review: FAUSTUS: THAT DAMNED WOMAN at the Lyric Hammersmith
By Justin Murray Tuesday, February 4 2020, 18:55
In the Hammersmith Lyric’s Faustus: That Damned Woman, Johanna Faustus does not have the title of Doctor when we first meet her. She’s just Johanna the apothecary’s daughter, obsessed with her mother, hanged as a witch.

Review: UNCLE VANYA at the Harold Pinter Theatre
By Tim Winter Friday, January 31 2020, 21:00
It was fascinating to see this new Chekov production the night after viewing the radical reworking of Dickens by Armando Iannucci in his film adaptation of David Copperfield.
In a reversal of the “modern dress, same old text” conception we are all so used to by now, here we have a film and a theatre production that stick, fairly closely, to 'period' conformity but use modern language and acting styles to jolt us out of our complacency.
