Review: THE THIRD MAN, Menier Chocolate Factory
by Cindy Marcolina - Jun 20, 2023

When Holly Martins arrives in Vienna to start a new job after the Second World War, he learns that his childhood friend Harry Lime died a few days prior. A broke novelist who was promised a cut in his business, he finds Harry’s sudden death suspicious and starts to investigate. Considered one of the best British films, it was only a matter of time before Carol Reed and Graham Greene’s 1949 film The Third Man received the musical treatment. With words by Don Black and Christopher Hampton and music by George Fenton, this premiere is a mid-weight noir directed by Trevor Nunn. While the cast is often impressive, the background against which the plot unravels is far more interesting than the story itself.

by Cindy Marcolina - Jul 10, 2021

Mr and Mrs Pooter have just moved from Peckham to their new home in Holloway, much to the Mrs P's dismay. She tries her best to be “a dutiful wife” and he is the model Victorian husband. But are they, really? English writer Evelyn Waugh once described George and Weedon Grossmith’s novel The Diary of a Nobody as “the funniest book in the world”. The Pooters have gone on to have quite an onward life over the years and have finally landed at Jermyn Street Theatre in an effervescent revival of Keith Waterhouse’s Mr and Mrs Nobody.
