Review: PERICLES, Swan Theatre, Stratford-Upon-Avon
by Debbie Gilpin - Aug 8, 2024

'‘Tis time to fear when tyrants seems to kiss.” It’s true that most of Shakespeare’s most well-known works remain perpetually relevant, particularly in the difficult times that continue to afflict populations worldwide, but sometimes it’s worth shuffling the pack and pulling out a lesser played work. The thing with geniuses like Shakespeare is that their less popular output is often just as good as the stuff that everyone’s heard of. Enter Tamara Harvey and her production of Pericles, Prince of Tyre.

Review: A VIEW FROM THE BRIDGE, Rose Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - Nov 2, 2023

Immigration and adapting (or not) to a new homeland is as current a topic as it has ever been. In Arthur Miller’s 1955 play A View From The Bridge, we see the difficulties in casting off centuries of inherited tradition to adapt to a new social structure. Holly Race Roughan’s thrilling production brings out all the nuance and emotion of the text. It feels as fresh as it does familiar.

Review: THE SILENCE AND THE NOISE, Streaming
by Louise Penn - Apr 18, 2023

Raw, brutal, twisted, and full of rich wordplay, this play makes its political points and highlights a relationship which uses regret, mistakes, and teasing to hide what is really happening at its core. It is less the star-crossed young lovers of Shakespeare than the smack-stained children of a modern wasteland.

by Cindy Marcolina - Sep 29, 2022

In a society riddled with fake news, that bends over backwards to regulate a woman's body, justifying its laws with a magical book, The Crucible is frighteningly relevant.
