Review: THE BATTLE, Birmingham Rep
by Laura Lott - Feb 18, 2026

Before Taylor Swift versus Charli XCX - but after The Beatles versus The Rolling Stones - came Blur versus Oasis.

Review: TWICE-BORN; SCOTTISH BALLET, Sadler’s Wells
by Matthew Paluch - Mar 7, 2025

Scottish Ballet return to Sadler’s Wells with a triple bill. One film, and two live pieces. All of the work is contemporary dance based, and acts as a vehicle for the company dancers to show off their well honed, dance capabilities. I wonder if a classical piece could have balanced things out and allowed the dancers to show their full range of talents?

Review: THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater
by Mary Lincer - May 25, 2023

What did our critic think of THE CRUCIBLE at Eisenhower Theater? Choreographer Helen Pickett does in her ballet The Crucible just exactly what Arthur Miller attempted in his 1953 play, her source. Both try to make a new language to express the Salem witch trials of 1692 because those events were too extraordinary for regular English or garden-variety ballet.

by Stephi Wild - May 3, 2023

In this variety show, Brad Lawrence and guests explore why they went out into the world when staying under their covers at home was obviously the safer choice.
