Review: THE CREAKERS, Southbank Centre
by Christiana Rose - Dec 30, 2024

Review: THE ART OF ILLUSION, Hampstead Theatre
by Cindy Marcolina - Jan 4, 2023
Sold as a curious tale of enchantment, it’s a romantic comedy masquerading as a French pastiche that crosses eras and genres. Translated by Waleed Akhtar, it’s debuting at the theatre’s Downstairs stage with Tom Jackson Greaves at the helm. Unfortunately, this shaky production leaves much to be desired.
