Theatre Reviews

A wonderful combination of history, farce and facts means that Operation Mincemeat is truly a musical comedy to savour.

Norwich should be very proud of Sound Ideas Theatre Company, and everybody involved in this kooky, spooky, production.

The Car Man is probably the best dance work that Sir Matthew Bourne has created since New Adventures' version of Swan Lake. Drive yourselves down to Norwich Theatre Royal and grab yourselves a slice of the action.

Even within the cavernous interior of the Theatre Royal, this performance really did still feel intimate.

Migration, either as an economic consequence of war, or as a political escape route, is not something that is going to go away

Last night, I stayed up past my bedtime and broke the rules with the Matilda, The Musical cast, here is why you should too...

A three act operatic spectacle, packed with passion and power.

“We're 100, and we are just getting started!” is the battle cry from Rambert

A compelling performance. Highly recommended.

Now that, my friends, is magic.

A cracking tale of duplicity and double-cross

I mentioned the war once...

Gritty and sexy, and filled with the passions and power of a beautiful Northern love story.

I confess to being a tad snooty when it comes to all this memory and movement malarkey, but I was surprised just how much difference it made not having a music stand between me and the players. Free from having to keep sheet music within their eyeline, the artists could express the music more, well, expressively

The skill of Thomas and Ward is quite remarkable; their ability to effortlessly shimmy up a Colgate lamppost and perform aerial acrobatics was jaw-dropping

Both sensitive and challenging in its treatment of the question of what is natural and unnatural.

A visceral reimagining of Mia Fisher’s novel of a young boy seduced through poverty and circumstance into the murky world of drug dealing.

Danny’s journey is interwoven with stories, facts and demonstrations involving the significant accordions throughout his life, and the result is warm, funny, comforting, worrying and, at more than one point, deeply unsettling.

As this show was unlike anything I have had the pleasure of seeing it feels difficult to just categorise as simply a circus act.

Menagerie Theatre Company’s Albatross is a new play by George Devine and Bruntwood Prize winner Martha Loader.

Sumptuous costumes, moody lighting, dramatic sound, superb design and a fine cast tautly directed all add up to grand night out

The tension between the beautiful simplicity of Harper Lee's text and the whip-smart dialogue Sorkin is known for is deftly handled. The novel is how Scout saw things, Sorkin seems to be saying; now take a look at the unvarnished truth.

'Carry On Venice', anyone?

From costumes, to music, lighting, comedy, quality of dancing - it really was the perfect show.
