★★★★★ Is this revival of Blithe Spirit sufficiently engaging to make us to forget the B-word for a couple of hours? It most certainly is.  From the moment the curtain rises on Anthony Ward’s magnificent set, there is a sense that we are in good hands . . . Blithe Spirit may just be escapist fun, but it offers fun of the highest quality.  

 ★★★★☆  Willy Russell’s play is fast approaching its fortieth birthday.  Back in 1980 this exceptionally witty two-hander made some trenchant observations about education and social class.  A lot has changed since then, both in academia and in society in general

★★★★☆ Let It Be aims to be ‘The Beatles reunion you never got to see’. The creative team behind this show has gone to extraordinary lengths to achieve a kind of historical accuracy that will appeal to anyone who fondly remembers the days when the Fab Four were the dominant force in popular music. There are moments in Let It Be that are eerily like being taken back in time.
