A. A. Milne The Truth About Blayds
A classic revival of a minor classic. Pacily directed and with a consummate cast, this production couldn’t be bettered

There’s nothing more charming or endearing in the West End this summer.

There’s a rapt self-communing in this production of Three Sisters. A must-see, it glows long after you’ve left it.

For a bijou summer in a bottle, this can’t be beaten. Exquisite, painfully funny, and hinting at the depths Mackenzie found to his own chagrin. A gem.

There’s every reason to see this rare gem, now added permanently to Rattigan’s finer plays.

John Joubert Jane Eyre, Grimeborn Opera
A gripping romantic opera premiere emerging right out of Dalston. Arcola’s Grimeborn have scored another first with a future.

Austen fans can feel they’re delivered the story’s heft, if not all its socially pinched circumstance. It’s a small gem.

Do see this particularly for an outstanding performance from Burrows and an exceptionally fine one from Woodhouse. This adaptation remains an exhilarating reminder of what a difference a century makes.

Alastair Whatley takes the joy of the sorrow, and makes it his own. Unmissable if you can squeeze in.

The most joyous musical of the summer. And it has a summer heart that never cloys. A sizzling must-see.
