If you’ve not seen a Noda production, see it. If you have, see it. It’s still the most intelligent spectacular I’ve seen in recent times.
Recognizing humanity is a mingled yarn mightn’t sound revelatory. Nor what we want to take away. But it’s what we need.
Unmissable to anyone who takes an interest in India or the world's recent history, ongoing late capitalism and how it stops humanity in cyanide tracks.
Jens Harzer throws himself into it so much that when he almost stumbles on for a standing ovation the look of sheer bewilderment hasn’t left his face. Outstanding.
There’s a perennial feel not just to the humanity at the play’s core; but the work itself. In these dark days, a must-see.
As ever, the Coronet and its guests have scored something unique in the British theatre-world.
Chiten Theatre intensifies to a point of light here something barbarous, atavistic, and goes to the heart of nihilism. Still outstanding.
OrQuesta provide the pattern of how to mount a vocally full-scale, full-length opera in an intimate space. An outstanding Magic Flute.
The Playboy of the Western World
An impossible balance, but having seen Playboy at farce-speed, it’s good to weigh in with a loquacious backbeat of despair. Wholly absorbing.
The Norwegian Ibsen company - and here Kåre Conradi - are doing for Ibsen what Conor Lovett and Gare St Lazare are doing for Beckett. And both are to be found at the Coronet.
A rich, suggestive and above all probing work about how we live with our ghosts so we can live with each other.
Far richer than any ghost play haunting the tour circuit, it’s a blistering, scary must-see.
