Murder on the Orient Express
★★★☆☆ Reassuring mystery
The touring production of Murder on the Orient Express from Fiery Angel at the Festival Theatre is a reliable whodunnit, well performed and staged with commendable ambition. Not everything about the staging convinces, but the result is pleasing.
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.
Art
★★★★☆ Sparkling:
Art, at the King’s until Saturday, is everything a high-profile touring show should be – a carefully thought out, well-directed production of a hit play featuring a big-name cast at the top of their game.
Vulcan 7
★★★☆☆ Mixed bag:
There are some brilliantly imaginative elements to the touring production of Vulcan 7 at the King’s. Unfortunately, none of them are in the script.
