A hilarious parody paying homage to gangster films.

Review: 7 Magnificent Egos, Ye Olde Rose and Crown
Half biopic and half pantomime, parts of this play are sublime but others seem oddly out of place.

Review: Bog Witch, Soho Theatre, Walthamstow
Bryony Kimmings' latest stunning autobiographical tale is filled with both captivating delights and heartbreaking candour.

Review: Private Lives, Rose Theatre Kingston
This frothy, misguided Private Lives drains Coward of his bite, swaps elegance for farce, and ultimately reduces a great play to flat, joyless bickering.
