by Debbie Gilpin - Feb 23, 2023
“A sad tale’s best for winter.” There may be moments of poignancy and outright tragedy in this late Shakespeare play, but Sean Holmes’ vibrant production ensures that the audience is given more than their fair share of comedy and levity throughout.
BWW Review: MACBETH, Shakespeare's Globe
by Dzifa Benson - Nov 17, 2018
You wait so long for a Macbeth then like the buses, four major productions come along at once. The Barbican is staging the Royal Shakespeare Company's offering while the roundly panned National Theatre's effort is out on tour and the National Youth Theatre's version is playing in the West End.
BWW Review: LOVE'S LABOUR'S LOST, Sam Wanamaker Playhouse
by Laura Jones - Aug 31, 2018
Love's Labour's Lost is one of Shakespeare's earlier comedies and has never been one of his more popular plays. Even attempts to make it more appealing by Kenneth Branagh in 2000 by turning it into a musical did little to sway public opinion. Nick Bagnall's production focuses more on slapstick comedy than it does on passion and romance.

BWW Review: DEATHTRAP Ensnares with Wit and Style at NextStop Theatre Company
by Jeffrey Walker - Nov 4, 2015
DEATHTRAP is an old fashioned, twisty thrill ride. NextStop Theatre Company puts the thrill back in thriller with a briskly directed, well cast production of the venerable potboiler. If we gave out ratings at Broadway World, I would offer NextStop four big ones for a production that crackles with wit and delivers a bloody good time.
