Review: THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST, National Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Nov 29, 2024

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.

Review: TWELFTH NIGHT, Regent's Park Open Air Theatre
by Debbie Gilpin - May 10, 2024

“More matter for a May morning.” Given that the majority of Shakespeare’s plays began with outdoor performances of one kind or another, it’s a perfect fit for the leafy surroundings of Regent’s Park – which has made it all the more conspicuous for its absence from the programming over the past few seasons. Owen Horsley steers the ship as this well-loved comedy docks in north London for the next few weeks.
