Addison DeWitt Says...: Incognito, Squirrels/The After Dinner Joke, Privacy, The Drowned Man, and more
http://addisondewittsays.blogspot.com/2014/06/incognito-squirrelsthe-after-dinner.html
Monday, 9 June 2014. Incognito, Squirrels/The After Dinner Joke, Privacy, The Drowned Man, and more. How has it taken me so long to discover the Bush Theatre? It's better than the Donmar- it's in a very cool neighborhood and has comfortable seats! What a revelation. And the play I happened to see- Nick Payne's Incognito. Will surely be among the best I'll see this year. And the subsequent opera based on his book. Major credit for the success of the play goes to the four actors- Paul Hickey, Amelia Lo...

Addison DeWitt Says...: October 2012
http://addisondewittsays.blogspot.com/2012_10_01_archive.html
Thursday, 25 October 2012. An Autumn Theatre Binge: The Judas Kiss, Cabaret, Love and Information, Jumpy, Last of the Haussmans, All That Fall. I wish I could say the binge had been worth it. There were some very decent plays involved, and only one truly dreadful revival of a musical, but I came away from it all with a mild hangover of disappointment and scant enlightenment. Even the gorgeous Italian nude in The. David Hare's 1998 play. About a mother-daughter relationship, was surprisingly much darker t...

Sunday, 26 June 2011. A Hit and a Flop: this weekend at the theatre in London. On Friday night I went to see Kevin Spacey in Richard III directed by Sam Mendes and was thoroughly entertained by this timeless thriller about a power hungry, deformed royal who murders his way to the throne. Shakespeare was a funny man and here his humor teamed with horror is deeply pleasurable and wonderfully uncomfortable. The necromancing Bard manages to manipulate his audience into rooting for a serial killer. The play m...

Addison DeWitt Says...: Racine's Berenice at the Donmar: Excruciatingly Funny
http://addisondewittsays.blogspot.com/2012/11/racines-berenice-at-donmar.html
Thursday, 15 November 2012. Racine's Berenice at the Donmar: Excruciatingly Funny. We giggled. Sometimes uncontrollably. Especially whenever Dominic Rowan as Antiochus was making his particularly inane observations on the action- whatever little there was of it. Was he channeling, I wondered, that other Rowan? And what was that inexplicable pile of sand? Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Http:/ www.jennymcphee.com. There Ought To Be Clowns. CD Review: Cool Rider (Original Studio Recording 2015).

Tuesday, 9 August 2011. 3 Revivals from the '70s, '80s and '90s for August: Pinter, Churchill, Shanley. As You Desire Me. Blue Heart, Cloud Nine. For something really off the beaten path and performed in a truly raunchy little dive (I can't even name the smells, there were so many) head to the Phoenix Artists' Club just off Tottenham Court Road to see Rock 'n' Roll Theatre's production of John Patrick Shanley's 1992 play. Four Dogs and A Bone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Http:/ www.jennymcphee.com.
