Review: MACBETH (AN UNDOING), Rose Theatre
A production that promises to be a 'fresh take' on one of Shakepeare's most famous plays is apt to produce a weary sigh or two. After previously playing at Edinburgh's Royal Lyceum last February, Zinnie Harris now brings her promising yet unfocused version of the Scottish play to the Rose Theatre.

BWW Review: FAUSTUS: THAT DAMNED WOMAN, Lyric Hammersmith
If like many you find yourself wishing you could change the world right now, you might want to first pop down to the Lyric Hammersmith to see Chris Bush's Faustus: That Damned Woman.

BWW Review: AN OCTOROON, National Theatre
Ned Bennett's production is a gruelling watch, and has contained within it many moments that shock, enlighten, provoke and surprise. Despite its transfer to the National Theatre, the production is still, as Ken Nwosu states to the audience, 'surrounded by white people.'
