Bu gerçekten göz kamaştırıcı bir yapım; Simon Godwin elindeki tüm imkanları, hatta fazlasını sahneye yığmış gibi hissediliyor. Öyle ki, bu sefer geleneksel yöntemlerle yetinmeyip işin içine bir jakuzi ve spa bile dahil etmiş. 1999'dan beri İngiltere'deki en kaliteli tiyatro haberleri yanınızda.

ELEŞTİRİ: Twelfth Night (On İkinci Gece), Space Theatre ✭✭✭ - British Theatre

On İkinci Gece gibi rüştünü ispatlamış bir klasik söz konusu olduğunda, oyundan yeni ve farklı bir şey izlemiş hissiyle ayrılmak pek sık rastlanan bir durum değildir. Ancak Pell Mell ekibi, yaratıcılığın sınırlarını zorlayarak (çoğunlukla olumlu anlamda) karşımıza alışılmışın dışında, canlı ve yüksek enerjili bir yapımla çıkmış. Bu oyunun, Shakespeare'in meşhur Globe Tiyatrosu'ndaki geleneksel sahnelemelerden çok daha farklı ve özgün bir deneyim sunduğu kesin. 1999'dan beri İngiltere'deki en kaliteli tiyatro haberleri yanınızda.

ELEŞTİRİ: All Male Pirates Of Penzance, Richmond Theatre ✭✭✭ - British Theatre

Buradaki kilit nokta dürüstlük: Erkek oyuncular, kadın rollerini oyunun bağlamı içinde olabildiğince samimi bir şekilde canlandırarak farklı bir enerji ve sinerji ortaya çıkarıyorlar. Tıpkı Mark Rylance’ın Twelfth Night’taki Olivia yorumunda olduğu gibi; seyirci onun kadın rolündeki performansına bir erkek olduğu için değil, bu tercihin sunduğu zengin renk kartelası için hayran kalmıştı. Regan'ın yapımlarında da benzer bir durum söz konusu. Erkek oyuncular, Gilbert ve Sullivan'ın o çok sevilen, zamansız karakterlerine ve olay örgülerine taze bir bakış açısı getirirken, seyirciler de bu yaratıcı ve eğlenceli yorumların keyfini çıkarıyor. 1999'dan beri İngiltere'deki en kaliteli tiyatro haberleri yanınızda.
