Review: A RAISIN IN THE SUN at Oxford Playhouse Theatre

An accomplished cast who illuminate a historical moment
★★★★☆

Toby Thompson is a gently amusing performer, skilled at engaging the attention of a young audience by tapping into their capacity for wonder. ★★★★☆

Keeps the audience gripped and provokes gasps and laughter, mostly of the nervous sort ★★★☆☆

A musical to raise your spirits. ★★★★☆

A chaotic but entertaining comedy that thrives in absurdity but needs more clarity and focus. ★★★☆☆

As with Rankin’s novels, the fun lies in the subplots . . . ★★★☆☆
