Three Sisters


Three Sisters at the Lyric Hammersmith in which the samovar is replaced by the electric kettle and other innovations. Romola Garai is charm itself (Eve beware) and the techno-production an unexpected success with only a few wobbles here and there. The youthful audience almost as fun to watch as the stage. Much is forgiven when you're only spending £10 a ticket.

Dr. Marigold & Mr. Chops


Dr. Marigold & Mr. Chops at Riverside Studios: Simon Callow does Dickens and aquits himself well but left me wishing I'd been able to see the great auteur himself perform.
