The Indy has a “review” of 16 theatre critics. See here.
I didn’t realise there were quite so many of them. They miss out a couple of influential ones eg Timeout, Metro and they capture Michael Billington but miss Lyn Gardner.
Interesting to note how many Oxbridge critics. Not quite sure what that says but like the […]
I have a vested interest in this as the new AD may be in charge (or at least have an influence) when NAKAMITSU goes on… So, I’m banking on a good AD although I am sure Thea Sharrock will be supportive until she leaves in the spring and it does depend on the programming. The […]
Drunk Enough to Say I love you by Caryl Churchill, directed by James MacDonald
Caryl Churchill is a heroine of mine. She’s genius – whatever genius is meant to be. So, I have to admit that I don’t think I’ve managed to join up all the dots in my thinking or reaction to her new play, […]
David Eldridge, via his very entertaining blog, drew my attention to this piece by Abi Grant.
It describes the painful and horrific process of trying to gain a convinction for rape.
It’s an important piece to read, I think, as I didn’t really have any idea about how the process would work and how difficult it all […]
I read this from Poetry Review, Autumn 2006.

Punchdrunk’s production of Faust is a must see piece of theatre. [Review of Masque of Red Death here]
The journey starts in the effort of finding the disused warehouse in Wapping. No disrespect for Wapping, but as night creeps in and you weave in and out of the mish mash of building sites and Docklands traffic […]
George Hunka, who I don’t quote enough (as I assume most theatre blog readers will be aware of his blog), writes extremely intelligently about theatre matters.
He has a post on Rachel Corrie, which is link back to Mark Armstrong’s (Mr Excitement) report on the post-play discussion between Tony Kushner, David Hare, Robert O’Hara with contributions […]
After my second plane in twenty four hours gets cancelled; and I am in for another 4 hour delay waiting in a Milan airport… there’s not much to do except read scraps of newspaper.
I am not sure this is verified but I read that parliament spent about 700 hours debating the fox hunting ban but […]
I’m not so well versed in the language of film, definitely not as I would like. It’s hard enough keeping up with the range of theatre and live performance; reading and keeping a job and life.
Still, when Chris Goode, who is much better informed than me, points to something; I listen. (I know technically listening […]
