Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - May 10, 2024
“More matter for a May morning.” Given that the majority of Shakespeare’s plays began with outdoor performances of one kind or another, it’s a perfect fit for the leafy surroundings of Regent’s Park – which has made it all the more conspicuous for its absence from the programming over the past few seasons.

by Perry Tannenbaum - May 3, 2024
Pardon me a second, but I seem to be noticing stretch marks on my suspension of disbelief. Three nights before the curtain rose on the touring version of MRS.
