The Lady Vanishes
★★★★☆ Without a Hitch:
The Lady Vanishes, but audiences won’t as a stage version of Alfred Hitchcock’s beloved thriller comes to the King’s as part of its UK tour.
The Case of the Frightened Lady
★★☆☆☆ Static:
Reliable performances by a host of crowd-pleasing big TV names cannot quite redeem the disappointing script of The Case of the Frightened Lady.
A Judgement in Stone
★★★☆☆ Not such a class act:
The Ruth Rendell murder tale A Judgement in Stone, at the King’s until Saturday, promises much but shoots itself in the foot with unbelievable characters and relationships.
Rehearsal For Murder
★★★☆☆ Accomplished:
Efficiently staged, well acted and cleverly paced, Rehearsal for Murder has everything you would want from a large scale touring production.
And Then There Were None
★★★☆☆ Dependable:
Fans of good old-fashioned murder will be pleased with a solid production of And Then There Were None by Bill Kenwright’s Agatha Christie Theatre Company at the King’s.
Agatha Christie’s Black Coffee – Review
It’s ✭✭✭✭✩ classy, classis Christie as the The Agatha Christie Theatre Company return to the King’s with the Queen of Crime’s only play to feature Belgian detective Hercule Poirot, says Martin Gray.
