Le Mariage

Despite faltering balance towards the end, Le Mariage remains a play to be seen, thought, and talked about!

The Pendulum

Alexander Fiske-Harrison’s new play at the Jermyn Street Theatre is well-made in every sense of the term.

Russian National Mail

Director Noah Birksted-Breen shows in his use of music, puppetry, and acting with mime-like precision, a focused vision and tight control of theatrical possibilities.

Piranha Heights

There’s only so many lofty comparisons to gratuitous violence that you can take before it descends into the superficial; missing the chance to create a truly gripping and menacing dialogue.

Under Milk Wood

None of these minor points can detract from the outstanding quality of this production of Under Milk Wood. On the whole, it just felt right.

Spring Awakening

If Spring Awakening were a painting, it would resemble the works of German Expressionists such as Emil Nolde or Ernst Ludwig Kirchner.

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot

The Last Days of Judas Iscariot could make a good TV sitcom, but it fails to rise to the interpersonal demands of the stage.
