Review: FELA! by Eleanor Turney

FELA! is a bouncy, buoyant, corker of production that rather loses its way halfway through. The first half is an utter joy. Bill T Jones’ choreography does not flag for a second, the music…

Review: Eden End by Eleanor Turney

Priestley is fond of dramatic irony, and lays it on particularly heavily in this, apparently his favourite play. It is rarely performed, perhaps because, as a piece of drama, it offers relat…

Review: The Jungle Book by Eleanor Turney

Review: The Beauty Queen of Leenane by Eleanor Turney

Misery, turmoil, lies, more misery, and a bit of onstage torture thrown in for good measure. The Beauty Queen of Leenane is not a happy play. In fact, Martin McDonagh’s script is so un…

Review: One Man, Two Guvnors by Eleanor Turney

Review: The Three Musketeers by Eleanor Turney

Bouncy, boisterous and brutal, this is children’s theatre at its best. Rosamunde Hutt’s lively production is full of swash and buckle, without glossing over the darker side of th…
