BWW Review: JESUS HOPPED THE 'A' TRAIN, Young VicFebruary 28, 2019Stephen Adly Guirgis's play is as relevant today as ever, its coruscating examination of the nature of American justice and religious redemption losing none of its power a generation on from its first outing.
BWW Review: COSI FAN TUTTE, Royal Opera HouseFebruary 26, 2019The Royal Opera House revives its 2016 Cosi with all the mischievous wit and splendid music of Mozart and Da Ponte - but also lets us in on the game within the game - and the price that's paid
