A Hectic Phase In The Life - Theatre Musings: REVIEW: After the Dance, National Theatre, 4 August
http://gonetothewestend.blogspot.com/2010/08/after-dance-national-theatre-4-august.html
Friday, 6 August 2010. REVIEW: After the Dance, National Theatre, 4 August. Some characters are really hard to empathise with. And Benedict Cumberbatch does a fine, almost surgical job with the lead man of After the Dance. Rattigan can be brilliant at times but the play lacked dramatic tension and momentum, which okay, I ended up believing it was all on purpose, very modern, or maybe I wanted to like this play so much (Mr.Cumberbatch! Again ( After the Dance. I want you to be on the stage all the time.

A Hectic Phase In The Life - Theatre Musings: November 2009
http://gonetothewestend.blogspot.com/2009_11_01_archive.html
Sunday, 29 November 2009. Life is a Dream, Donmar Warehouse, 27 Nov 2009. It is a very good translation, too. The actors, I can guess less aware then some in the audience as to who or what was De la Barca, chose to deliver Edmunson's rich and gorgeous dialogue as if they were doing Shakespeare. That proved to be the right choice as well. Like most Shakespeare, Life is a Dream. With all the inherent flaws of the play, this is a production that makes good use of its virtues and it is also very Donmar-ish, ...

Saturday, 13 February 2010. An Enemy Of The People, Sheffield Crucible, 11 Feb 2010. Where theatre moves you. My visit to the newly rebuilt, born-again Sheffield Crucible (now under the guidance of AD Daniel Evans, wonderful actor and great speaker during the latest Royal Court anniversary celebrations) served a double purpose: I went to see Lucy Cohu in the role of Katrine - the wife of the lead Dr.Stockmann, played by Anthony Sher - because last year's Speaking in Tongues. To Good Night And Good Luck.

Thursday, 22 October 2009. Yesterday The Wrestling School. Howard Barker's theatre company, turned 21, something to celebrate. It makes Andrew Haydon ask himself if plays are to be enjoyed. At the Guardian (I wish he would have written a longer piece about it, as it's a very interesting concept, why do we go to the theatre? Howard Baker is a difficult writer and I must admit his Arguments for Theatre. Standing up in the National Theatre bookshop, rooted to the ground by the power of his words. On stage&#...
