A Coward Coupling

Family Album is possibly the most disastrous production this already unfortunate play has ever sustained. More, Coward would declare it’s a travesty; of genius. Hands Across the Sea is pitch-perfect in a slightly outré version of what Coward meant.


A Midsummer Night’s Dream

With Baum’s direction they and we discover new thresholds, new anatomies


A Midsummer Night’s Dream

This surely is the greatest Dream since Peter Brook’s landmark 1970 production.


A Midsummer Night’s Dream

Might be the finest Globe Dream


A Midsummer Night’s Dream

A theatrical arcady on our doorstep


A Separate Peace

Stoppard looks at society’s phantom limb ethic. Even when it’s gone it aches, and it aches to have someone opting out.


As You Like It

Heartwarming, giddyingly vital yet clear with its own truth.


By Jeeves!

A thoroughly enjoyable period-style musical.


From Henry VI Part 3 to Romeo and Juliet

Join and revel – they’re not anywhere near ended.


Much Ado About Nothing

A blissfully alive production.


Not Quite Jerusalem

An enduring little classic of Englishness on the turn, out of the ideal-exhausted Seventies and on the edge of darkness.


One Man, Two Guvnors

Outstanding. An immediate comic classic.


The Dog Walker

I want to know what life, not just Paul Minx will do with his characters afterwards. So will you.


The Merchant of Venice

A fleet traversal memorable for insights the company bring during and after their performance of it


The Merry Wives of Windsor

One of the two most cogent, most fun Merry Wives of recent years.


The Official Dick Whittington – A Pantomime for 2020

It’s a joyous confection out of thin lockdown.


The Taming of the Shrew

See it and you’ll never think of the Shrew without this groundbreaking stab at the dreams of men.


The Understudy

Do catch it, and match the feelgood price with nudging theatres towards opening night.


Twelfth Night

Tamsin Greig’s extremes as Malvolia mark the first intimations of the terrible and define this production. The ground’s shifted.
