Review added of Rules for Living by Sam Holcroft, at the National Theatre. We’ve seen six plays in London in a week, as last year, and Rules for Living is easily the best production of an intensive week. Easily the best “post-Shakespeare” play of the six too.
With Stephen Mangan and Miles Jupp.

Review of Carmen Disruption by Simon Stephens at the Almeida Theatre, Islington added. Hugely theatrical, brilliantly done … but avant garde, or pretentious?

Review added of Ah, Wilderness! by Eugene O’Neill at the Young Vic Theatre, London. Classic American play as done in a sandpit. Excellent cast, shame about the play.
