Theatre News & Reviews: 2012

REVIEW: Feathers in the Snow, Southwark Playhouse ✭✭✭✭

Ridley creates a world of conditioning, fear, faith, sacrifice, freedom, jubilation, strength, weakness, love and hate. It’s all there.

INTERVIEW: Philip Ridley, Telling Stories

REVIEW: Rent, Greenwich Theatre ✭✭✭✭

In this production, the creative team and cast have clarified Jonathan Larson’s message. By returning to the Broadway roots, recreating the ambiance of the bohemian Alphabet City of the Nineties, and focussing on the narrative drive of the show, Rent becomes relevant. This is an admirable revival of a modern classic.

REVIEW: Tender Napalm, Southwark Playhouse ★★★★★

Tender Naplam is a Ridlean treat; haunting, terrifying and uplifting. You will most likely not hear a more exquisite play, nor see two more compelling performances this year.
