KUNENE AND THE KING

at Ambassadors Theatre

BEYOND APARTHEID

Despite the work of the two charismatic leading men, this South African story is at once predictable and hard to believe.

Reviewed by: CLIVE HIRSCHHORN

MAGIC GOES WRONG

at Vaudeville Theatre

COMEDIC CALAMITY

Mischief Theatre strikes again, this time taking on the world of stage magic and its incipient hazards.

CURTAINS

at Wyndham's Theatre

CRIMES AND MELODIES

This surefooted musical comedy is a whodunit that writes a love letter to musical theatre while also making fun of it.

TASTE OF HONEY

at Trafalgar Studios

FALSE VIRTUE

Shelagh Delaney’s 1958 play broke all the taboos of its time, and this production stays true to its merits.

THE DUCHESS OF MALFI

at Almeida Theatre

CONSUME AND DESTROY

There are some very stylish choices in this production, but it lacks the pace and grimness that the play demands.

Reviewed by: SAM MARLOWE

FAIRVIEW

at the Young Vic

THEATRICAL CONUNDRUM

This Pulitzer Prize-winning play is hard to describe, but it's definitely original, and this production is well acted and directed.

TEENAGE DICK

at Donmar Warehouse

PARODY OF THE BARD

Mike Lew’s reworking of Richard III is far from perfect, but it has its moments.

A CHRISTMAS CAROL

at the Old Vic

PURE AND TRUE

Sharpened and streamlined, this production goes straight to the heart of Christmas spirit.

Reviewed by: SAM MARLOWE

HENRY VI/RICHARD III

at Sam Wanamaker Playhouse, Shakespeare’s Globe

SHAKESPEARE ELECTRIFIED

This gripping, inventive production will make you see these works in an entirely new light.

Reviewed by: SAM MARLOWE

THE BOY IN THE DRESS

at Royal Shakespeare Company, Stratford-upon-Avon

HIGHLY DERIVATIVE

Although there are plenty of positive elements to focus on, you may feel like this show is a mash-up of things you have seen before.
