MADE UP at the Birmingham Rep
Made Up centres around two characters, Sue, the well experienced makeup artist and Kate the fresh-faced actress. Sue, played by Alexis Tuttle instantly became a likeable character with witty remarks and lightning fast co...
TWELFTH NIGHT at the Birmingham Rep
This production is unlike any other Shakespeare you are likely to see. There are great moments of audience interaction, and you feel that no performance would be exactly the same as the next – the performers all showin...
The Government Inspector at Birmingham Rep
The cast are great. Their camaraderie and the ease with which they move around/over/on top of/with one another gives the play an authentic feel. They bumble and buzz and are note-perfect. Singling out performances may se...
OF MICE AND MEN at the Birmingham Rep
Adapted from the original 1937 novella, Of Mice and Men follows “bindlestiffs” George Milton (William Rodell) and Lennie Small (Kristian Phillips) as they seek casual farm work in Soledad, California during the Great...
A BEAUTIFUL ENDING at the Door, Birmingham Rep
Performed in French, with English surtitles, Mohamed El Khatib’s A Beautiful Ending might be described as theatrical (auto)biography, or as journalistic experimentation, or an approximation thereof . . . I hesitate to ...

THE SNOWMAN at Birmingham Rep
September 1993, and the animated short film and its accompanying theme tune Walking In The Air had already secured their places as Christmas classics in the hearts of the nation. The REP’s then Artistic Director, Bill ...
Confirmation at The Door, Birmingham Rep
Chris Thorpe and Rachel Chavkin have developed a show in which ‘confirmation bias’ demonstrates the inbuilt tendency in people to observe and understand the world through a lens that seeks to reinforce their pre-esta...
THE LION, THE WITCH AND THE WARDROBE at Birmingham Rep
There is some impressive puppetry on show as Lion King and Warhorse influences are used to good effect. Aslan, the lion, is a gallant three man puppet, excellently voiced by the rich tones of Nuno Silva who also operates...
Rambert’s ROOSTER at Birmingham Rep
The triumphant final act was Rooster, a show for which Rambert has become renowned and received much praise. To laud it is an exercise in reiteration, but it is unavoidable when describing Christopher Bruce’s electric ...
SANCHO at Birmingham Rep Studio
Paterson Joseph delivers a performance that is hard to fault in Sancho: An Act of Remembrance. He begins the show as himself, in plain garbs, introducing his audience to Ignatius Sancho. Joseph’s passion for the subjec...
