REVIEW: Sunny Afternoon, Hampstead Theatre ✭✭✭
There is a lot to like in Sunny Afternoon and overall the experience is more than satisfactory. It is great fun. Well worth seeing and hard not to enjoy.

REVIEW: Birdland, Royal Court Theatre ✭✭✭✭
There is a simply amazing moment when the set literally starts to crack up or, depending on how you look at it, begins to drown – just as the central character, Andrew Scott’s troubled rock supremo, Paul, finds his personal world crumbling around him, finds himself drowning in a sea of excess, selfishness and solitude.
REVIEW: Handbagged, Vaudeville Theatre ✭✭
Handbagged promises much and delivers very little. It’s vaguely interesting and occasionally genuinely involving
REVIEW: Henry IV Part One, RSC ✭✭✭
Perhaps it was just that Richard II promised so much, but this Henry IV Part One did not make one long for Part Two.
REVIEW: A View From The Bridge, Young Vic Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
It really is shatteringly good in every way. And the final blood-soaked vignette is both poetic and horrific
REVIEW: Once We Lived Here, Kings Head Theatre ✭✭✭✭
It’s a joy to see and hear creative Australian voices, onstage and off, in London. This show is worth a full scale production, properly funded and promoted. It’s a true pity its short season has now concluded.
REVIEW: Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, Savoy Theatre ✭✭✭✭
This is a musical farce. No question. And a very funny one. But it has a conceptual twist: the fourth wall is broken allowing asides to or with the audience or conductor, or wry, deftly done onstage business.
REVIEW: Let The Right One In, Apollo Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
It is difficult to see how this production could be better. Scary, imaginative and practically perfect in every way. A modern fable not to be missed.
