★★★☆☆ Ben Brown’s play imagines the conversation that could have taken place at Kim Philby’s Moscow flat that cold and snowy evening, one in which Graham Greene seems determined to understand Philby’s motivation.

★★★★☆ At times Copenhagen is perhaps a little too pedagogic, and in the early stages of the play some expository passages are heavy-going. It is also, perhaps, a fraction too long. But it is an immensely absorbing play, and in this well-directed and superbly performed production, it is not to be missed.

★★★★★ I had imagined that a poetry recital, albeit one directed and delivered by Ralph Fiennes, would prove to be a relatively low-key return to live theatre. I could not have been more wrong, for there is much in his Four Quartets that is simply astonishing.

The set-up of The Play That Goes Wrong is that Cornley Polytechnic Drama Society is putting on a play entitled ‘Murder At Haversham Manor’ . . . It’s Agatha Christie colliding with Buster Keaton, and the results are very funny indeed.
