Adventures In Wonderland at The Vaults

Having seen the show twice in rapid succession over the past few days, I’m alarmed to have found that the production, while visually just as appealing … Read more

The Litterati at The Vaults

The Litterati is an intriguing deconstruction of life on the margins of society, seen through the eyes of its sheltered protagonist. The play occasionally suffers from melodrama, and explaining, rather than demonstrating key elements of the narrative. Nevertheless, this is compensated by otherwise perceptive dialogue and strong performances. It is certainly worth a watch.
