REVIEW: Metropolis, Ye Olde Rose And Crowne ✭✭✭✭✭

Metropolis is the kind of show that makes you want to go and see it again, and again. Rush to get tickets to what will be one of the fastest selling shows of the year.

REVIEW: A Good Clean Heart, Underbelly - Edinburgh Fringe ✭✭✭✭✭

Alun Saunder's beautiful script is not just bilingual, he also explores street language and bravado. Excellent direction and movement and a wonderful karaoke section allows the play to soar.

REVIEW: The Adventures Of Pinocchio, Greenwich Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭

Christian James is a wonderful Pinocchio. He completely captures the sense of the character's otherness and separation (being living wood) as well as a newcomer's desire to explore and a child's desire to rebel. The sequence where he learns about lying and his nose growing is genuinely delightful, as is the way he quickly shaves off his extra growth before Gepetto's return. Bronagh Lagan has presided over an excellent production of an interesting and involving musical which provides a fresh, but refreshingly old-fashioned approach to the entertainment and stimulation of (especially) young minds. You leave wanting -desperately - to be able to bring youngsters to more theatre just like this.

REVIEW: James III - The True Miror, National Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭

Sansom imbues this play with a reckless, frenetic energy, a listlessness that reflects the monarch's temperament and a sexy, splendid pulse that tantalises and intrigues. The story telling is very clear, very theatrical, but the sense of real history is strong.
