The Merchant of Venice

Superbly staged and acted version of what can be a difficult play given the themes that are addressed. David Fielder yet again demonstrates his mastery of the live stage, making us both .... more

A beautifully brooding production of this intense play. The cast splendidly capture the claustrophobic lives of the three sisters as they come to realise that their dreams are just that and will never be fulfilled. Beth Cooke, Emma Cunliffe and Lucy Black are perfect as Irina, Masha and Olga, whilst Polly F... more
The Glee Club
Review Event The Glee Club

Highly entertaining and ultimately thought-provoking story of six men caught up in the social changes of early 1960s England. As the country starts to experience the first stirrings of the liberal 1960's, the characters find old certainties breaking down and old values challenged. Workplace, music, love and frien... more

A spellbinding, powerful production with superb performances throughout. The way this play speaks to the modern world is partly due to the strength of the play itself but also to the crisp direction of Greg Hersov, who takes us on a roller coaster ride through the drama. Yet another excellen... more

A splendid revival of a little peformed play.

For anyone who has lost money on the stock markets in recent months the reminder... more

This is an exceptional production, with strong performances from all the excellent cast. Starletta DuPois is capitavting as the widdowed Matriarch watching her children struggle to find their way in a changing but still cruel world. Jenny Jules is perfect as Ruth shackled by the need to ... more

Having read Alan Hulme's review I had low expectations of this performance. How wrong I was, it is an excellent innovative and fresh approach to the play. The device of using the 1960's contrasting the Court as the Greek Colonels with the "hippy" feel of the fairyland works superbly with the sets allowi... more
