Review: THE MODEL APARTMENT at the Ustinov Studio in Bath
★★★★★ The model apartment of the title is a metaphor for something outwardly perfect, serviceable, whilst concealing a different, uncomfortable truth. Max (Ian Gelder) and Lola (Diana Quick) have come to Flori...
Review: The National Theatre’s MACBETH at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★☆☆ Director, Rufus Norris, in searching for a setting which imagines the play in something like the modern world, has settled on that ‘go to’ staple; a post-apocalyptic wasteland of ruined civilization...
Review: RAMBERT2 at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★★ What is Rambert2 I hear you ask? Briefly, it is the newly-formed junior offshoot of the main Rambert company in which 13 recently-graduated dancers aged between 19 and 25 have been selected from all over...
Review: RADAMISTO by ETO at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★☆ The opera is clearly driven by a strong moral purpose. The corrupting influence of absolute power on the one hand and the constancy and regenerative power of love on the other. The music is a delight wit...

Review: SHAKESPEARE IN LOVE at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★☆☆ The witty wordplay of Stoppard is always something to look forward to. His playful anachronisms and deftly placed Shakespearean quotes litter the stage for those with a tuned ear. They were, one suspects...
Review: THE HEIGHT OF THE STORM at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★★ It would be difficult to fault this play in any particular: the writing, acting, directing, setting and lighting are all of the highest order. There are playwrights who, having reached a kind of mastery o...
Review: GOD OF CARNAGE at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★☆ Director Lindsay Posner ensures the combatants are never still for long on Peter McKintosh’s simple circular living room set, skilfully bringing insulted guests back into the fray just when you think th...
Review: THE PRICE at Bath Theatre Royal
★★★★★ As the poet considers the weight of every word so great acting considers each gesture and inflection. It operates in a realm beyond mere excellence, where it illuminates at the same time as exciting a de...
Review: SWITZERLAND at the Ustinov Studio, Bath
★★★★☆ Phyllis Logan gives a performance to rank alongside the best of the triumphs hosted by the Ustinov over the last few years . . .The play is a cage fight between morality and literature, the outcome of wh...
