The Crucible
★★★☆☆ Clear focus:
Exceptional clarity characterises the Lyceum’s production of The Crucible, whose focus on small details reaps rewards but does so at the expense of dramatic impact.
A View From The Bridge
★★★☆☆ Honourable:
A strange and mysterious 1950s New York is explored in the Touring Consortium Theatre Company’s take on Arthur Miller’s A View From the Bridge, but the production fails to completely convince.
Kill Johnny Glendenning
✭✭✭✩✩ Blood with no guts
Vigorous and energetic, the Lyceum’s world premiere of Kill Johnny Glendenning provides lashings of blood and humour in a production which is well performed and directed, but in the end is less than the sum of its parts.
Dial M For Murder – Review
✭✭✭✭✩ Hitchcock without a Hitch
A fascinating mix of naturalism and the dreamlike give this this touring production of the original play behind Hitchcock’s 1954 movie an added edge as it arrives at the King’s.
