Ten-year-old Jessica's behaviour has been troublesome recently, so her parents (Amy Marston and Peter Hamilton Dyer) are called in to discuss the concerns at their daughter's school.

BWW Review: THE PLAY ABOUT MY DAD, Jermyn Street Theatre
Boo Killebrew recounts the catastrophic impact of Hurricane Katrina on her hometown in the autobiographical The Play About My Dad. Seen in Europe for the first time at Jermyn Street Theatre, the piece is a play within a play complete with flashbacks and time travel.

Directed by Stella Powell-Jones, it's well-executed but feels like it's holding its breath.

THE PROVOKED WIFE Opens Thursday at Greenwich Playhouse
First performed in 1697, The Provoked Wife contains strangely modern explorations of marriage and love (and lust) without forgetting the requisite humour. In Perfect Mayhem's hands it is part screwball comedy, part chamber piece. The action is relocated to a mythical version of Mayfair in the 1920s and edited to a dizzying 100 minutes which explores the wit, physical comedy and smouldering sexuality of the play without shirking the darker themes.
