WHAT SHADOWS at Birmingham Rep
Nearly fifty years after Enoch Powell delivered what he referred to as his Birmingham speech – what most of us know as the “Rivers of Blood” speech – Ian McDiarmid takes the stage of the Birmingham Repertory to r...
THE EXORCIST at Birmingham Rep
The production does not shy away from allusions, overtones, and indeed explicit realisations of the perverse violations that face (and may have previously faced) Regan. Claire Louise Connolly inhabits the character well,...
SÉANCE at Birmingham Rep
A shipping container sits in Centenary Square. Inside there are two rows of worn red velvet seats, like those you might imagine in an old cinema, allowing for an audience of 15 or thereabouts. They surround a table cover...

The Importance of Being Earnest at Birmingham Rep
Fela Lufadeju as Jack Worthing is a triumph, standing resilient and strong throughout, showing outstanding range and depth for such a young actor. Worthing’s counterpart Moncrieff (Edward Franklin) is, for me, one of t...
The BE FESTIVAL at Birmingham Rep
On the eve of the EU Referendum, I attended the sophomore evening of BE Festival – that is, Birmingham European Festival. Any review of the event must surely mention the topicality of its content, and the ways in which...
Shadowlands at Birmingham Rep
Shadowlands tells the love affair between Englishman C.S. Lewis and magnetic American Joy Gresham. With an age difference of 18 years and Lewis’s strong negative feelings towards remarriage, their coupling surprised t...
INVINCIBLE at the Birmingham Rep
Haughty, hyper-liberal Emily (Emily Bowker) and fumbling Oliver (Alistair Whatley) are facing financial difficulties and relocate their small family from London to an undefined northern town in order to pinch pennies and...
