Review: EQUUS at Bath Theatre Royal

★★★☆☆ It is remarkable that such a flimsy, improbable concoction set on board the transatlantic liner, Italian Castle, should enjoy an apparently charmed life at the hands of, firstly; Ferenc Molnár, the orig...
Review: A SONG AT TWILIGHT at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★☆☆ Written with a certain amount of sentimentality around a lost love the play offers us false trails; is it about rekindled passion, perhaps in an open relationship, or then is it about past indiscretion, ...
Review: BLUE DOOR at the Ustinov Studio, Bath
★★★★☆ Plunged into a long sleepless night of self-reflection, Lewis is ‘visited’ by three generations of male forebears each bearing harrowing chapters from a story that climbs from the privations of slav...
Review: LIVING WITH THE LIGHTS ON at the Ustinov Studio, Bath

Review: THE LADY VANISHES at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★☆☆ The nature of the piece makes it difficult to generate any real tension, but the cast make up for it with some witty cameos. It’s an example of a genre that sets out to do nothing but entertain and tha...

★★★★☆ A hit when it was released in 1988, the original American comedy drama road movie won four Oscars, one going to Dustin Hoffman for his portrayal of the autistic savant Raymond Babbitt. In this revival o...
Review: CRIMES ON THE NILE at the Ustinov Studio, Bath
★★★★☆ Their great detective is a lady of formidable intellect and with an even more formidable French accent, called Artemis Arinae. That’s a name not picked by chance, for Artemis is the goddess of hunting...
Review: PETER PAN at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★☆ Jon Monie is the consummate panto pro. With possibly the jiggliest eyes in the business - with an ability to make them appear attached to their sockets by nervous springs - he has, more importantly the s...
