It was a crime that horrified Britain, a moment in the nation’s psyche that leaves a scar, not because of loss of life but one in which loss of self respect and hope became the headline news.

The Two Gentlemen Of Verona, Theatre Review. Everyman Theatre, Liverpool.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating 8.5/10

Cast: Leah Brotherhead, Garry Cooper, Aruham Galieva, Guy Hughes, Amber James, Charlotte Mills, Dharmesh Patel, Fred Thomas.

William Shakespeare is arguably the pinnacle of the English language, the most brilliant observer of human behaviour and the writer of some of the world’s finest plays; from Hamlet to Richard III, from Macbeth to A Midsummer Night’s Dream and onto Henry V and Love’s Labour’s Lost, all are instantly recognisable and charged with experience. Yet even the Bard had to start somewhere, even Shakespeare had to grind out an initial play that even in modern times is under produced, labelled problematic and one that even the B.B.C. in its infinite wisdom has shied away from repeating more than once.

Wendy And Peter Pan, Theatre Review. Stratford Upon Avon.

Liverpool Sound and Vision Rating * * * * *

Cast: Rhys Rusbatch, Mariah Gale, James Corrigan, Darrell D’Silva, Paul Kemp, Charlotte Mills, Douggie McKeekin, Simon Carroll-Jones, Cavan Clarke, Sam Clemmett, Adam Gillen, Susan Hingley, Jack Horner, Rebecca Johnson, Arthur Kyeyune, David Langham, Jordan Metcalfe, Mimi Ndiweni, Dodger Philips, Laura Prior, Patrick Toomey, Lawrence Walker, Harry Waller, Jay Webb, Dan Wheeler.

This the second time out for Jonathan Munby’s Wendy and Peter Pan which has just finished its season and remains indicative of the R.S.C.’s continued policy of broadening its appeal without compromising quality. The play is neither musical nor pantomime and yet it incorporates the best of both formats and discards arguably the more irritating features that come with the story.
