Latest Theatre Reviews
Review: Oedipus
A confident, bold and experimental production that punches and shakes its audience into looking at Sophocle’s legendary play afresh. Superbly cast and stunningly staged, it’s an ancient triumph for The Old Vic.
Review: Dr. Strangelove
Steve Coogan takes on four roles in this surprisingly faithful stage adaptation of Stanley Kubrick and Peter Sellers’ absurd classic.
