Review: MACBETH, Lyric Hammersmith
by Cindy Marcolina - March 06, 2025
The production checks off each convention you might think belongs to non-Jamie Lloyd contemporary theatre one after the other. Swanky set? Tick. Random handheld microphone that’s used once? Tick.

Review: ALTERATIONS, National Theatre
by Aliya Al-Hassan - February 28, 2025
Michael Abbensetts was the first Black writer to have a series commissioned by the BBC: the groundbreaking Empire Road, which had an almost entirely Black cast and crew.
