Oliver Chris
REVIEW: Young Marx, Bridge Theatre ✭✭✭✭
Bean and Coleman don’t put a foot wrong. Briskly plotted, dizzily paced with doors flying shut and open with split-second timing, revealing and concealing the players with all the aplomb of a delicious Deuxieme Empire farce, Young Marx is a racy, gallivanting romp, making the earnest lead a figure of fun.
Cast announced for National Theatre’s Pride readings
The cast has been announced for a series of rehearsed readings of seminal plays at the National Theatre exploring LGBT+ culture and history.
REVIEW: Closer, Donmar Warehouse ✭✭✭✭
Watching David Leveaux’ stylish revival at the Donmar Warehouse, Closer seems not so much a play about people who don’t have children yet as a play about grown up children. Games, set-ups, lies, betrayals, revenge, secrets – the machinations of the four characters (who are the strangers who become lovers/lovers who become strangers) resemble schoolyard activities. Marber’s dialogue is sharp, ugly and vicious; it is often very funny too.
REVIEW: King Charles III, Almeida Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
This is theatrical alchemy of the rarest kind. It will affect each person who sees it differently, for it is everything and nothing all at once.
