Review: ABIGAIL'S PARTY, Stratford East
by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 13, 2024
The Seventies were a time for cheesy pineapple, bellbottom jeans, Elton John, and ABBA.

by Marianka Swain - Apr 4, 2019
Caryl Churchill's ground-breaking 1982 work comes to the National for the first time - and, also a first, with a full cast rather than actors doubling up, as the playwright had originally intended. It adds to the expansive feel of Lyndsey Turner's production, particularly effective in the play's still audacious opening.
