Francis O’Connor
Sweat
★★★★★ Unmissable
Sweat by Lynn Nottage at the Lyceum until June 13, is a production of rare power and complexity.
Cinderella: A Fairytale
★★★★☆ Magical
Cinderella: A Fairytale, this year’s Lyceum Christmas play, is a sparkling, visually wonderful and consistently entertaining piece of family entertainment.
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.
The Arabian Nights
★★★★☆ Ravishing:
Beautiful to look at and clever enough to know when to be stupid, The Arabian Nights at the Lyceum is genuine family Christmas entertainment.
Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland
★★★★☆ Wonderful:
While not specifically Christmassy, Alice’s Adventures In Wonderland at the Lyceum proves an ideal fit for the festive season. Hugely colourful, funny, and fascinating, it is thoroughly involving and a little disorienting.
Canned Laughter
★★★★☆ Canny:
Pathos and superbly performed comedy combine in Canned Laughter at the King’s all week until Saturday.
The Weir
★★★★☆ Quietly affecting:
Superbly judged performances and a clever, organic approach to staging make for an effectively spooky time in the Lyceum’s production of Conor McPherson’s The Weir.
Private Lives – Review
