BWW Review: ANNA X, Harold Pinter Theatre
What sells better than sex? In Anna X, the answer is clear: exclusivity. Inspired by the true story of the socialite scammer Anna Sorokin, Joseph Charlton’s play marks the conclusion of Sonia Friedman’s Re:Emerge season at the Harold Pinter Theatre with a boy-meets-girl tale on steroids. In Daniel Raggett’s hip, snappy staging, Emma Corrin and Nabhaan Rizwan — breakout stars of the TV hits The Crown and Industry, respectively — weave a contemporary romance of false façades and murky motives.

Guest Blog: Joseph Charlton On BRILLIANT JERKS at VAULT Festival
About 18 months ago I was writing about Uber for the i newspaper, where I work part-time, and the driver I interviewed for the piece was a woman. She was the first female driver I'd spoken to. The column was about pay and work conditions for drivers, but after speaking to her, and then reading what she'd written about driving for Uber, I got interested in the kind of person who does a job like that.
