This is a bloody flashy production, it feels Simon Godwin has thrown everything he can find at it including the kitchen sink, or in this case, hot tub and spa.

REVIEW: Twelfth Night, Space Theatre ✭✭✭
When it comes to a tried and tested classic like Twelfth Night, it’s sometimes quite rare to come away feeling you’ve seen something new and different. For better or for worse (mainly better), Pell Mell have dug deep creatively and come up with a lively and high-energy production that you’re certainly not going to see at the Globe any time soon.

REVIEW: All Male Pirates Of Penzance, Richmond Theatre ✭✭✭
The key is truthfulness: the men play the female roles as truthfully as they can, in the context of the show, and by doing so, unlock different energies and synergies. Just as audiences roared at Mark Rylance's Olivia in Twelfth Night, not because he was a man playing a woman, but because his so doing simply provided a different palette of choices, so too, in Regan's productions, they roar at the antics as the men bring fresh perspective to some of Gilbert and Sullivan's most loved and enduring characters and situations.
