The Shawshank Redemption at the Theatre Royal Bath
Adapted directly from the Stephen King novel by Owen O’Neill and Dave Johns. Andy Dufresne (Ian Kelsey), a sensitive, thoughtful man, wrongly convicted for the murder of his wife and her lover, initially finds himself ...
MRS HENDERSON PRESENTS at the Theatre Royal, Bath
This is a play about age, fortitude, life, sex and much else, with a nod to the indignities of censorship. If I was at times a little lost as to where the play was taking me it didn’t really matter since, like the revu...
SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER at the Theatre Royal Bath
Anita Dobson, beloved by many for her appearances as Angie Watts in EastEnders and in Strictly Come Dancing stole the night with her hilarious entrance as the bedraggled, soaked and much-duped mother of the very naughty ...
THE FATHER at the Theatre Royal, Bath
"The universally praised production of Christopher Hampton’s translation of Florian Zeller’s French hit returns, triumphantly, to the Theatre Royal, this time in the main house. I reviewed this, my favourite play of ...
THE IMPORTANCE OF BEING EARNEST at Bath Theatre Royal
The Bath audience greeted Suchet’s entrance with warm applause. By the end they clapped long enough for repeated sweeps to the front of the stage with the entire cast and a final triumphant solo pose and flourish. A lo...

OUTSIDE MULLINGAR at the Ustinov Theatre, Bath
"This compassionate and delightful romantic comedy from the Pulitzer Prize, Tony and Oscar-winning author of Doubt will win many hearts. The great appeal in John Patrick Shanley’s play lies in one woman’s fight to ov...
A MAD WORLD MY MASTERS at Bath Theatre Royal
" . . . the whole play is unblushingly mined for laughs with characterization going little deeper than the epithetical names, some of which have been changed for a modern ear. The humour is as broad as a Carry On film an...
THE HARVEST at the Ustinov Studio, Bath
" . . . Like the Emperor’s New Clothes, Pavel’s play is, on the surface, see-through simple. Apples are picked and attempts are made to put them in crates for an hour. That we come out debating references to the disa...
Daphne du Maurier’s REBECCA at the Theatre Royal Bath
" . . . Kneehigh brought trademark sideshow moments to the production. Throughout, moods were heightened by some lovely playing on violin, xylophone, mandolin, accordion and double bass, and there were full-throated Corn...
