The Donmar Warehouse production of The Way Of The World looks fabulous, with Anna Fleishle’s design and Ilona Karas and her costume team being the stars of the show.
The York Realist is a beautiful time capsule of lost love, and Gil’s script brims with tenderness.
The Donmar is the perfect venue for a tense thriller like Belleville, a claustrophobic chamber piece of a thriller that delivers on so many levels.
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.
For anyone feeling exhausted and frustrated with the political status quo and the depressing direction of international politics as a whole, I urge you to go to The Resistible Rise Of Arturo Ui.
This production brings out Schiller’s themes in a compelling and lucid way while also being an exciting political thriller and a very personal drama about two women trapped by forces greater than themselves.
These are men dancing on the edge of their own history, and the fact that we know their histories, (two of them killed by violence), makes the play highly poignant. A highly rewarding evening at the theatre.
