Extra Date for Korczak
Strange Town’s Dr Korczak adds a show:
Strange Town has added an extra show to its run of Dr Korczak’s Example at the Just Festival at St John’s.
EH 16: Pyre
★★★☆☆ Unclear power:
EH 16: Pyre, Nevermore’s production in the downstairs studio at TheSpace Triplex is a determinedly political look at violence against women both in history and today. While at times diffuse, it has an undeniable power.
Waiting For Godot
★★★★☆ Clearly impressive:
Suffused with hope and hopelessness, Waiting For Godot at the Lyceum in the International Festival exemplifies all of the humanity and cruelty of Samuel Beckett’s landmark work.
A War of Two Halves
★★★★★ Devastating emotion:
The sincerity, emotional directness and beautiful staging of A War of Two Halves deserves to transcend sporting allegiances. This Is My Story and Nonsense Room’s site-specific performance does what great theatre should, making a specific time and place seem immediate and accessible.
