Theatre Review: Hobson’s Choice, Royal Exchange, Manchester
What an absolute delight.
Theatre Review: The Importance of Being Earnest, Bolton Octagon at Albert Halls
This is the most interesting production of The Importance of Being Earnest I have ever seen, and that includes David Suchet in drag as Lady Bracknell.
Theatre Review: Handbagged, Oldham Coliseum
Well, that was odd. A comedy about Margaret Thatcher and the Queen and it’s very funny. Who’d have thought it?
“We’d like to make history.” The Talleyrand, Levenshulme, Manchester
Levenshulme is rising. To say it is gentrifying is perhaps too strong but it’s certainly becoming bohemian.
Theatre Review: The Way I See It, The Talleyrand, Levenshulme
The Way I See It does exactly what it says on the tin.
Tea from The Manor: Northern Soul talks tea, teabags and tea-tasting with James Green
Dapper. Not a word I often use but, English being an exact language, it’s the only word to describe the proprietor of Tea from The Manor.
Theatre Review: The Last Yankee, Bolton Octagon
David Thacker is an expert on Arthur Miller, and it shows in this beautifully acted, finely directed play.
Theatre Review: Wise Children, HOME, Manchester
This is jolly good fun. Based on Angela Carter’s final novel, a picaresque romp through the lives of twin sisters, Nora and Dora Chance, all human life is there even if director and writer Emma Rice has cut quite a lot of the plot.
Theatre Review: Tea and Two Sugars, 53two, Manchester
Making theatre is hard. Making good theatre is even harder.
Theatre Review: A Different Way Home, Oldham Coliseum
Kenneth Alan Taylor is a phenomenon. In fact, he’s a phenomenal phenomenon.
