BWW Review: MY FAIR LADY, London Coliseum
BWW Review: MY FAIR LADY, London Coliseum
May 19, 2022

Expectations have been high for My Fair Lady. It is easy to see why it was such a hit on Broadway; brimming with English period tropes of top hats, Ascot races, lovable cockneys and snobbish toffs. Bartlett Sher's revival now comes to the West End. It looks stunning, but does not always hit the high notes.

BWW Review: SIMON AMSTELL, SPIRIT HOLE, Richmond Theatre
BWW Review: SIMON AMSTELL, SPIRIT HOLE, Richmond Theatre
May 17, 2022

Those who know Simon Amstell’s comedy, know that he often focuses on shame, the concept of the ego, general anxiety and internal conflict. His new show, Spirit Hole, is certainly not a departure from these subjects, but is used as an opportunity for Amstell to focus on analysing his over-thinking and what gets in the way of achieving spiritual contentment as he hits the age of 42.

May 11, 2022

Read our critic's review. George Orwell’s allegory of the Russian revolution and the Soviet descent into authoritarianism has something to say to every generation. Indeed, watching it today, in the era of war in Europe, fake news and failing trust in our leaders, it feels more resonant than ever.
