The Crucible

The Crucible

★★★☆☆ Clear focus:
Exceptional clarity characterises the Lyceum’s production of The Crucible, whose focus on small details reaps rewards but does so at the expense of dramatic impact.

Dead Simple

Dead Simple

✭✭✩✩✩ Overcomplicated:
While there is much in Dead Simple to satisfy fans of the crime genre, on a dramatic level it is far from convincing.

Kill Johnny Glendenning

✭✭✭✩✩ Blood with no guts
Vigorous and energetic, the Lyceum’s world premiere of Kill Johnny Glendenning provides lashings of blood and humour in a production which is well performed and directed, but in the end is less than the sum of its parts.

✭✭✭✭✩

Deliciously entertaining, this touring adaptation of the 1955 film plays with the stereotypes and conventions of both the comedy and the heist movies of the time.
