Waiting For Godot (Theatre Royal Newcastle, 23rd April 2009)

Many of my recent posts have commented on how much the performances have referenced theatre. I couldn’t discuss this production of Waiting for Godot without commenting on the metatheatre. The set is a derelict theatre. We watch the action through two frames, one is the proscenium arch of the Theatre Royal and the other is…

When We Are Married (WYP 21st April 2009)

I think I was surprised. I had read other reviews and I didn’t think that I would enjoy this production, but I had a really good time. it just shows though how diverse the reviews can be. The Telegraph gives the production 5 stars, but Charles Hutchinson in the Yorkshire Evening Press found flaws and…

The Tempest – again (Sheffield Lyceum, 23rd April 2009)

Having seen this Baxter Theatre/RSC production in Stratford (Courtyard Theatre), I was really keen to see it in a different playing space. The proscenium arch theatre in Sheffield did present a very different viewing experience, but none of exceitement I felt when I saw the production in February was lost. In a proscenium arch theatre,…

Doctor Who, Planet of the Dead (BBC 1, 11th April 2009)

I am a great fan of Doctor Who and look forward to each episode. Unfortunately, the special ‘Planet of the Dead’ was not, in my view, one of the best episodes of the TV programme. With any Doctor Who episode, viewers are confronted with the layers of narratives surrounding the production. It is as if…

The Damned United (27th March 2009)

When I wrote about Don John and Red Riding I talked noted that the two productions were set in a nineteen seventies which was presented as dark and bleak. The Damned United is another production set in the seventies and also uses a sense of bleakness as its backdrop. However, the scenes in grays and…

As You Like It (The Curve, 21st March 2009)

I thought that Tim Supple’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream was an amazing piece of theatre, and this is why I booked for As You Like It at the Leicester Curve. The cast created some really interesting readings of the play and there was some very thought provoking moments. However, this was a very different production…

Future Me (York Theatre Royal, 12th March 2009)

Future Me really unnerved me. I was really unnerved because I really liked the main character when I left, but deplored what he had done and his crime. I felt I had had some insights into the other characters and what their motivations were. The problem with this for me was that the main character…

Edward Gant's Amazing Feats of Loneliness (WYP, 12th March 2009, WYP)

Antony Neilson’s The Wonderful World Of Dissocia deals with bipolar disorder and sets the action in two sphere’s Lisa’s journey and then her hospitalization. The contrast between the two parts of the play comment on each other and create a series of layers which makes this play very powerful as well as entertaining. Neilson’s Edward…

Don John (Lowry, 7th March 2009) Red Riding (C4, 5th March 2009)

“Deliver us from evil” a character in Red Riding quotes from the Lord’s Prayer. “Hell” flashes above the stage at the conclusion to Don John at the Lowry. This is the nineteen seventies in the North of England. In these two productions, the seventies has become very bleak and dark. Channel Four’s Red Riding piles…

Victory Condition — Julie Raby

On Friday 20 October 2017, I saw Chris Thorpe’s Victory Condition at the Royal Court. This is a double hander with Sharon Duncan-Brewster and Jonjo O’Neill. it is only 55 minutes long, and a play that required the audience to listen to catch every word to make the words matter. It was an experience […] via […]

I'm on holiday

I haven’t written on my blog for some time because I am completing my PhD. I find that it is very easy to get distracted and write short blog posts than work on larger pieces, so I have taken a holiday from blogging. Once I have submitted my PhD then I hope to get back […]
