Review: Revolution – New Art For A New World dir. Margy Kinmouth

Not all revolutions are won by violence and bloodshed. Director Margy Kinmouth takes us on a journey to the beginning of both the Russian Revolution and the relatively unknown art revolution that coincided with it, tracing their history and overlaps. Starting in 1917 at the storming of the Winter Palace in St Petersburg and the abdication of Czar Nicholas, it seems only appropriate that Revolution is being … Continue reading Review: Revolution – New Art For A New World dir.

Review: Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere by The Young Vic

Journalist Paul Mason has had a rather exciting career. Particularly in the 2010s, Mason joined Channel 4 News as culture and digital editor, and has continued to cover some of the most relevant and politically charged news stories around the world. Possibly, one of the least expected places you’d find him is performing in a theatre, but here at the Young Vic, for three nights … Continue reading Review: Why It’s Kicking Off Everywhere by The Young Vic

Review: Neruda dir. Pablo Larrain

When you have a figure as huge as Pablo Neruda, it seems odd that a biopic bearing his name as its title has him not as the sole protagonist, but a deuteroganist, a policeman tasked with arresting him his co-star in this film. But acclaimed Chilean director Pablo Larrain (who also directed Jackie in 2016) clearly reveals the reasons behind this in his latest scintillating film Neruda.  Luis Gnecco … Continue reading Review: Neruda dir. Pablo Larrain

Review: Rounds by Resuscitate Theatre

There’s a moment in Rounds when two junior doctors sit down on a couch in front of the TV, and rather tongue-in-cheeked, watch Grey’s Anatomy while commenting on how the doctors never seem to wash their hands. A TV medical drama this is not, and inspired by real interviews conducted with junior doctors working for the NHS, Rounds was created specifically to address the many issues doctors face in … Continue reading Review: Rounds by Resuscitate Theatre

Review: Ugly Lies The Bone by National Theatre

Virtual reality is one of those fascinating pieces of technology that still hasn’t quite fully found its footing yet, still feeling very much like a sci-fi fantasy. Recent shows like Black Mirror and The Nether have taken to attempting to incorporate it into a key part of their narrative, to varying degrees of success. Lindsey Ferrentino’s Ugly Lies The Bone is the latest show to do just that, and in … Continue reading Review: Ugly Lies The Bone by National Theatre

Review: The Diary of a Teenage Girl at Southwark Playhouse

Review: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead at The Old Vic

50 years ago, Tom Stoppard became an overnight sensation when Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead first premiered. The Old Vic plunges straight into its 2017 season with a welcome return to this absurdist play focusing on the two minor characters from Shakespeare’s Hamlet who meet their untimely doom over the course of the play. One of the biggest draws to this production of course, is its … Continue reading Review: Rosencrantz and Guildenstern are Dead at The Old Vic
