Review: MURDER ON THE ORIENT EXPRESS, Kings Theatre
A train passenger is murdered - Belgian sleuth Hercule Poirot (Michael Maloney) must find the culprit. Suspects are portrayed as amusing caricatures, ranging from a shrieky missionary to a mansplaining gangster and a bold American actress.

BWW Review: THE CHILD IN THE SNOW, Wilton's Music Hall
It doesn’t take much for Wilton’s Music Hall to be atmospheric. The Victorian building, with its balcony, stripping paint, and heartbreakingly beautiful cast-iron pillars, lends itself very well to Christmas ghost stories. All of this, combined with Tom Piper’s ambitious set design and Hayley Egan’s overachieving projections, seems like the perfect production for the theatre’s festive comeback. Too bad The Child In The Snow is a tonally confused and intensely unengaging project.
