Nosferatu, TR Warszawa and Teatr Narodowy, Barbican by Judith Flanders

The famous count could not have a more theatrical pedigree if he tried. The great actor-manager Henry Irving – tall, preternaturally thin, with a fixed glare (due, apparently, to extreme m…

Enquirer, Barbican, at Mother at the Trampery by Judith Flanders

2011: Mariinsky, Manon, and a German Dane by Judith Flanders

Judith Paris, Waxing Lyrical, New Diorama by Judith Flanders
