If all the London theatre critics are dead white men then I hope I offer a slightly different perspective. You'll find; Ballet, Opera, Musicals, Comedies, Tragedies, Mime, If someone's doing it, I'll review it.

Roman Tragedies
Six Hours of adapted Shakespeare, entirely in Dutch with the added kicker of running effectively continuously without intervals. Quite remarkably this was one of the most stunning pieces I've seen in a good long while. It wasn't just wholly involving...
Duke Bluebeard\'s Castle/The Rite of Spring (English National Opera)
Daniel Kramer's "Duke Bluebeard's Castle" is a magnificent creation; Michael Keegan-Dolan's "Rite of Spring" is nothing but a mess. Both give bold interpretations but whilst Kramer stamps something new and original onto the text, Keegan-Dolan goes fo...
Cyrano (Birmingham Royal Ballet)

Bryn Terfel - Bad Boys
From Backstreet to Bad Boys but sadly without losing the commercial edge. Bryn Terfel's latest tour, largely to promote his new album, has a distinctly iffy whiff of money about it. It's lucky then that Terfel is both highly charismatic and the posse...
This Is Us - Backstreet Boys
Yes, you read the title correctly. Despite my love of all things high brow and arty, there's a comfortable place in my heart for trashy, entirely lovable pop music. I like most of the various boy/girl bands on some level but The Backstreet Boys have ...
Royal Ballet Triple Bill (Agon/Sphinx/Limen)
If there was a particular theme to this bill it eludes me. As it happens Wayne McGregor's new work "Limen" matched rather well with Balanchine's magnificent "Agon". "Sphinx" matches with nothing and they shouldn't have tried. It's a stodgy work, lots...
I like the author's enthusiasm but when it comes to the nitty gritty of analysis, I'm afraid the lack of experience shows. Still, got to start somewhere I suppose.
