Review: THE LIFE OF PI at The Hippodrome

When I first learned about the movie Life of Pi, I confess I was less than curious, having neither heard of nor read the book.

Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, National Theatre

This is an Earnest for a new generation, Bridgertonian in its approach and just brat enough. Everybody is a little gay. Everybody is incredibly horny. Everybody has the smoothest comeback. Webster forgoes any sanctimony with sacrilegious extravagance. Gorgeously anachronistic costumes by Rae Smith splash on Smith’s own set design, shaking up the comedy of manners conventions in favour of a more original take.
