A play about ghosts that struggles to find a soul.
Exhibition review: Rachel Jones: Gated Canyons, Dulwich Picture Gallery
Riotous colours and compositional control are the hallmarks of Rachel Jones' paintings.
Musical review: Fiddler on the Roof, Barbican Theatre, London
A fabulous 'Fiddler' overflowing with heart, humour and harmony.
Musical review: SIX the Musical, Vaudeville Theatre, London
Divorced, beheaded and died... The six wives of Henry VIII live long and loud!
Dance review: Inside Giovanni’s Room, The Rep, Birmingham
A fearless and tender dance adaptation that confronts queer desire, shame, and selfhood with aching vulnerability.
Performance review: The Rock ‘n’ Roll Alien, Adelphi Theatre, London
Conceptually ambitious and visually dense but tonally inconsistent and lacking a clear artistic throughline.
Theatre review: The Lion, the Witch and the Wardrobe, Alexandra Theatre, Birmingham
A moody, imaginative take on Narnia where puppets prowl and actors play their own score.
Opera review: Simon Boccanegra, Royal Festival Hall, Southbank London
Opera North gives a masterclass in operatic concert staging.
Dance review: ALiCE, Sadler’s Wells, London
A 'curiouser and curiouser' reinvention of 'Alice's Adventures in Wonderland'.
