Review Roundup: What Did The Critics Think of Carrie Cracknell's Adaptation of THE GRAPES OF WRATH?
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Aug 1, 2024

Review: THE GRAPES OF WRATH, National Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Aug 1, 2024

The piece is heavy in topic and method, but Carrie Cracknell’s quiet direction smooths out the nearly three hours of running time. It’s by any means not an easy-breezy show to experience, but it sinks into your soul in a way that only an epic does. The problem is that it’s so, so slow.

Review: THE DREAM OF A RIDICULOUS MAN, Marylebone Theatre

Guest Blog: 'It Burnt Itself Into My Memory': Director Laurence Boswell on Dostoevsky and THE DREAM OF A RIDICULOUS MAN
by Guest Author - Mar 19, 2024

Dostoevsky has always been my favourite novelist – he is the chronicler of the troubled mind. I first read The Dream of a Ridiculous Man when I was at university. It burnt itself into my memory.
