Review: MY COUSIN RACHEL at Bath Theatre Royal

Review: A TASTE OF HONEY at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★☆☆ The undoubted star of this show is Jodie Prenger, as Helen. Prenger portrays her as a woman who is all too aware that her best years are slipping into the distant past. She is determined to make the be...
Review: GASLIGHT at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★☆☆ The action all takes place in the living room at 9 Thornton Square, London. Here the controlling master of the house enacts his preconceived plan to drive his dutiful and loving wife into a state of men...
Review: CRIMES ON THE COAST at Bath Theatre Royal
★★☆☆☆ Set in a hotel on an island somewhere off the English coast, Crimes is very much a play of two halves. The first comprises mostly a somewhat underwhelming scene-setting narration by the novelist/freelanc...
Review: THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★☆☆ Stephen Mangan plays the hapless and bumbling lead character in this enjoyable stage adaptation of the 1950s Ealing comedy film of the same name. He has just enough of the floppy-haired, good-looking, i...

★★★★☆ This Uncle Vanya is ravishing to look at, strikingly contemporary in its central theme, and frequently very moving. Ivan Voynitsky, ‘Uncle Vanya’, is a part that Rupert Everett had long wished to t...
Review: VIENNA 1934 – MUNICH 1938 at the Ustinov Studio, Bath
★★★★☆ Running in tandem with harrowing tales of political capitulation and betrayal, Vanessa Redgrave affectionately balances her story with personal tales of her family, centering mostly on her father Sir Mic...
Review: BLITHE SPIRIT at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★★ 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...
Review: VANYA AND SONIA AND MASHA AND SPIKE at the Ustinov Studio, Bath
★★★☆☆ The action takes place in an American farmhouse. Designer David Korins has created a convincingly detailed image of rustic comfort, with wood beams, a stone-flagged floor, and wicker furniture . . ....
Review: EDUCATING RITA at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★☆ 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 cha...
