Little Women
★★★★☆ Heart-warming
Little Women, Louisa May Alcott’s classic and well-loved tale of four sisters’ tumultuous lives during the American Civil War, arrives at the Festival Theatre this week in Anne-Marie Casey’s adaptation first seen at Pitlochry in 2022.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel
★★★☆☆ Reassuring
In many ways The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel at the Festival Theatre is exactly what you would expect. In other ways, it very much goes the extra mile.

Duet For One
★★★☆☆ Solid:
Thought-provoking and icily emotional, Birmingham Repertory Theatre’s version of Duet For One at the King’s until Saturday is wonderfully acted but never really takes flight.
