Alterations

We must be grateful for this compelling revival, and wait for more from the National’s Black archive.

As Long As We Are Breathing

Do see this exceptional and brave piece of theatrical memory.

Cry-Baby

Easily the most joyous musical we’ll see this side midsummer, Cry-Baby in this production blazes fit to set another fire in Dalston

Cymbeline

One of the most uneven of late plays, its heights have to be seen; and though there’s pitfalls, this absorbing production surmounts most. A feat.

Dear England

With its nimbus of inevitability as national storytelling, it’s still groundbreaking.

Macbeth

ETT’s gallimaufry stimulates, frustrates, occasionally fascinates. A more selective through-line would have revealed a mineral gleam, a new earth of tyranny.

One Day When We Were Young

This grips anyone who can’t let first love go, anyone who stares homeward even now, wild with all regret. Unmissable.

Outlying Islands

A first rate-revival of a small classic. Do seek out this rare, dream-like play.

Teatro dei Gordi: Pandora

It begs questions: what couldn’t we do, if placed outside our own comfort station in life? Essential theatre. essential questions. A gem.

Vaughan Williams, J.M. Synge Riders to the Sea

Betteridge’s prologue is certainly worth seeing even if you know the work, and won’t need persuading. And after the opera, the rest is surf, and silence.
