Review: OPENING NIGHT, Gielgud Theatre


Now a stage musical, John Cassavetes’ 1977 film Opening Night was a commercial flop when it was released, later becoming something of a cult classic of American independent cinema.

Challenging can be hugely successful, but I’ve rarely seen a production more determined to confuse and frustrate an audience.
