This surely is the greatest Dream since Peter Brook’s landmark 1970 production.
In the most spectacular production imaginable, Lucian Msamati’s supremely crafted lead sets off the quicksilver of his rival Adam Gillen.
Andrew Lloyd-Webber 50th Birthday Live from the Royal Albert Hall, 1998
The great discovery was the multi-roling Marcus Lovett, sexy and lethal, able to attack several roles and convince you he was born for them, even into them.
Supremely worth it to see a pair so famous weighing equal in their own balance, perhaps for the first time.
Barber Shop Chronicles is a breath-taking revelation for those of us who had small inkling of a world in miniature.
A Coriolanus memorable for politics sinewed with personal forces: an active interrogation of democracy. And in Josie Rourke’s production Tom Hiddleston’s someone riven by intimations of his true self
A superb realization of Lorraine Hansberry's unfinished masterpiece - a classic of Ibsenite proportions
Completeness is just one reason to cherish this clean-driven clear-headed production
The Albert Hall’s sovereign production, unlikely to be surpassed particularly with the special encore.
We’re looking at a bright Book of Hours. Barrie Rutter’s done it profound service, adding a warmth and agency that opens up this pageant. This is hopefully just the first of many such he’ll bring to the Globe.
First-rate theatre. In Joshua James’ Ben Gunn and above all Pasy Ferran’s Jim, we see stars rising quicker than Arthur Darvill’s superb Silver can point them out.
Tamsin Greig’s extremes as Malvolia mark the first intimations of the terrible and define this production. The ground’s shifted.
Outstanding. Surely the definitive study of the dignity of physical labour, and breaking of its amity.
