Hakawatis Women of the Arabian Nights
Original, bawdy, exploratory, seductive and elegaic in equal measure. A Faberge egg, continually hatching.

A wonderful score and musicians, above all Bea Segura’s titanic act of shrivelling, make this a must-see.

The title role goes to Isobel Thom, making their professional debut: the greatest I’ve ever seen.

Another first-rank revival from JST, specialists in rediscoveries: a fitting end to Tom Littler’s tenure.

No simple swapping of heirs and originals, but a dream of the future by Seacole, or equally present dreams raking the past. Do see this.
