REVIEW: The Exorcist, Phoenix Theatre ✭✭✭
If you go prepared to be scared, like the audience members who got their feet at the curtain call, you will be, and if, like the woman being helped out of the theatre because she was still laughing hysterically at the Devil, you go to be entertained, then you will be.

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.
REVIEW: The Lady From The Sea, Donmar Warehouse ✭✭✭✭
While The Lady from the Sea dates back to 1888 and has been relocated to the 1950s, Ellida’s turmoil has a very modern feel as she struggles to find an identity for herself as an individual outside of her relationship to the men in her life.
FIRST LOOK: Dr Seuss’ The Lorax returns to the Old Vic
Following a critically acclaimed season last year, Dr Seuss’ The Lorax returns to the Old Vic and Manuel Harlan was on hand to bring us these great production images. This dazzlingly funny, moving and inspiring show sees the go-getting Once-ler come face to face with the magical Lorax in a battle over the beloved truffula trees and the whole of Paradise Valley. Adapted for the stage by David Greig with music and lyrics by Charlie Fink (Noah and the Whale Frontman), Dr. Seuss’s The Lorax is a brilliant riot of eye-popping colour, gorgeous puppetry and infectious music to enchant adults and children alike. Dr Seuss’ The Lorax runs at the Old Vic until 4 November 2017. Read our review of the original season. BOOK TICKETS FOR DR SEUSS’ THE LORAX
