REVIEW: Against, Almeida Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
This is a magnificent, epic, intellectual and heart-felt play in a superb production, full of insight and truth, written with a masterful sense of theatrical balance and economy.
REVIEW: Nuclear War, Royal Court Jerwood Upstairs ✭✭✭✭
While Nuclear War is at times confusing and disorienting, it is riveting throughout its 45 minutes, leaving you with words, sounds and sights that will continue to haunt.
REVIEW: The Broken Heart, Sam Wanamaker Theatre ✭✭
To consider The Broken Heart as a soap opera is to fundamentally misconceive it. The author seemed clear enough that it was a tragedy and the text certainly sounds like a tragedy. The cast are not the problem. Each and every one attacks the play with verve and in the style chosen by director Chridtine Steinbeis. That the attack is misconceived is not down to them.
