FAR AWAY

at Donmar Warehouse

DYSTOPIAN NIGHTMARE

Caryl Churchill's apocalyptic 45-minute miniature isn't for everyone, but it should resonate with audiences more now than when it premiered 20 years ago.

UNCLE VANYA

at Harold Pinter Theatre

CURTAINS

at Wyndham's Theatre

TASTE OF HONEY

at Trafalgar Studios

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.
