REVIEW: People, Places and Things, Wyndham’s Theatre ✭✭✭✭✭
People, Places and Things Wyndham’s Theatre 5 Stars More Info | Book Now Whenever I review I always hope I act with discretion while making the occasional note to refer back to after the performance. I never want to distract my neighbor from the story that is unfolding on stage. There was no chance, however, of this being an issue throughout People, Places, Things at Wyndham’s Theatre – the action is arresting, and the performances thoroughly engaging. This production was so good it stopped me writing; I could not take my eyes off it for a second.

In an attempt to recreate the … Read more
Damian Lewis To Star In American Buffalo – On Sale Now
Emmy and Golden Globe Award-winning actor Damian Lewis (Homeland, Band Of Brothers) will return to the West End stage in a revival of David Mamet’s play American Buffalo. The play which is to be directed by Daniel Evans will play at London’s Wyndham Theatre for a limited run from April 16 – June 27, 2015. Winning the New York Drama Critics’ Circle Award for best play, Mamet’s explosive drama examines the fickle nature of honour among thieves. As three small-time crooks, Donny Dubrow, Walter “Teach” Cole (Damian Lewis) and Bobby plan one big-time heist, a tragedy of errors spins this razor-sharp and darkly funny play into a blistering account of divided loyalties, insatiable greed… and a coveted Buffalo nickel. Damian Lewis said: “David Mamet is one of our greatest living playwrights and I’m thrilled to be performing in his brilliant American Buffalo. It’s exciting for me to be back on … Read more
