One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest

★★★★☆ Heartfelt

There is a big heart and an even bigger sense of injustice done in Leitheatre’ powerful production of One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, playing at the Church Hill Theatre until Saturday afternoon.

Guys and Dolls

★★★★☆ Accomplished

Southern Light’s take on Guys and Dolls at the Festival Theatre is beautifully sung, acted with comic glee, and falls only just short of greatness.

Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil

★★★☆☆ Subtly resonant
Black Diamonds and the Blue Brazil at the Lyceum is a sensitive exploration of community, family and football that has much to commend it, but stretches itself a little thin.

Hugh Simpson on May 15 2026

Waitress

★★★★☆ Big-hearted

The musical Waitress, touring to the Playhouse, is an appealing production that (despite its ostensibly dark subject matter) is resolutely optimistic.
