Sophie Adnitt reviews The Rubenstein Kiss now playing at Southwark Playhouse.
Full casting has been announced for The Rubenstein Kiss by James Phillips at Southwark Playhouse in March 2019.
James Phillips’s award-winning play The Rubenstein Kiss, inspired by the true-life story of Soviet spies Ethel and Julius Rosenberg, is to be revived at Southwark Playhouse.
The play triumphantly uncovers and re-asserts McQueen’s credo that design is at its best an act of love of the person – a summing up of who that man or woman was, is and may become – and therefore lies, paradoxically, in the mind as much as purely in the visual sense. It was for this reason that Alexander McQueen chose the Shakespeare line that heads this review to wear as a tattoo – a blazon for his time, and – surely – for all our times.
