Brighton Year-Round 2022
Don’t miss this authentic, touching, devastatingly comic anatomy of a marriage as soufflé, supremely served by Rhys-Jones and Dee.
A paean to live theatre; soaring seasonal spirit, struck with tenderness, joy, sorrow, plangent affirmation.
With memorable music and ensemble singing added to a first-rate BLT production, there’s no better Christmas show in town.
As a definitive staged version of Kenneth Grahame’s life, it will certainly hold the stage in its subsequent tour.
This is more than panto: it’s an affirmation of something that panto here welcomes in, in our time uniquely invoking layers as only Elizabethan/Jacobean drama can.
Kelly Hunter’s team have wrought a miracle of flight, realised by an outstanding cast who here at least, make us rank Pericles with Shakespeare’s other late Romances.
Actually improves on Brown with theatrical humour and bold gestures; with a set that tells the story almost as much as the strong cast.

Certainly enjoyable and the second act shows what it might be. There’s not a moment’s longeurs
Unsanctioned/Measure 2 Measure
