REVIEW: That Man, Hippodrome Casino ✭✭✭✭

If anyone loves the music of Caro Emerald, then they’ll love this feast of her songs presented in a dramatic context. If anyone does not know her music, or has yet to be persuaded of its merits, then they will be enchanted by the delicious performances given by a cast of 10 in this production, supported by a smart 4-piece band and MD Iain Vince-Gatt.

REVIEW: Merit, Finborough Theatre ✭✭✭

Merit at The Finborough by Alexandra Wood explores the unravelling relationship between a mother and daughter during the financial crash in 2013 Spain. A fast paced two-hander, the play confronts the morality of ambition, the nature of altruism and how success affects our responsibilities to family and friends.

Alexandra Wood’s Merit comes to the Finborough

REVIEW:Merit, The Drum - Plymouth ✭✭✭

Merit has a timeless quality, examining themes relevant to any society going through economic upheaval. It also explores broader ideas such as our responsibilities towards others when money is short: Patricia questions Sofia’s decision to give to charity when people are losing their homes just as many people question whether countries in recession should continue to give aid to the developing world.
