Review: Romeo & Juliet, Heaton Park
Caroline Clegg has done it before. Although she enjoys a career in opera and music, she returns to Manchester’s Heaton Park every year and mounts a summer show.
Theatre Review: Joking Apart, Stephen Joseph Theatre, Scarborough
It seems a strange thing to do, on a boiling hot summer’s evening, to come in out of the bright day and ensconce oneself in a dark theatre, along with hundreds of other people, to watch a play set outside in a garden.
Theatre Review: Astley’s Astounding Adventures, New Vic Theatre, Stoke-on-Trent
“Bye ‘eck,” said the man sitting next to me. “Ah’ve seen some stuff ‘ere, but that were fantastic!”
Theatre Review: Those Two Weeks, Gladstone Theatre, Port Sunlight
For people in tragedy’s shadow, ‘normal’ life can seem like an irrecoverable paradise.
Theatre Review: Blackpool – What a Shit Place to Die, Three Minute Theatre, Manchester
At only 50 minutes long with no interval, this play is a real emotional roller-coaster.
Theatre Review: Macbeth, Rose Theatre, York
Up betimes and to York with a cushion to catch the matinee of Macbeth by Will Shakespeare, performed in the new open-air Rose Theatre by Clifford’s Tower.
Theatre Review: Love from a Stranger, The Lowry
A jilted ex-fiancé, an interfering hammy aunt, a considerable sum of money, a staid office girl and a charming American – the classic elements of any Agatha Christie storyline and all are featured in this murderous drama.
Theatre Review: The Three Musketeers, Williamson Park, Lancaster
I’m not going to beat about the bush, I am thoroughly biased.
Theatre Review: A Midsummer Night’s Dream, Shakespeare’s Rose Theatre, York
The German traveller Paul Henzner, visiting London just before Shakespeare’s Globe opened, counted ‘above thirty’ heads of traitors on spikes on gate at the south end of London Bridge.
Theatre Review: On Behalf of the People, Burgess Foundation, Manchester
In my mind, there are two types of plays: the ones where you keep checking your watch and the ones where you leave the theatre and it’s suddenly dark.
