Review: The Elixir of Love, Wilton’s Music Hall
A thoroughly charming adaptation that relocates Donizetti’s L’Elisir D’Amore to an English country fair.

A sunshine-filled reinvention of Molière’s classic, full of energy and farcical humour, but with a surprisingly complex seam that adds rich depth.

Review: Bloodsport: After Helen of Troy, Stratford East
A modernisation of Helen of Troy set in Essex, offering sharp ideas but unfocused writing and uneven impact.
