Review of “folk supergroup” FLIT at Poole Lighthouse. (FOLLOW LINK) Features Martin Green (Lau), Becky Unthanks (The Unthanks), Adrian Utley (Portishead), Dominic Aitchinson (Mogwai) and singer-songwriter Adam Holmes. A show on the edge between concert and theatre, with animation projected, and a major lighting set up. These are tales of migration with folk tunes and electronic synth and accordion, guitar and bass. The picture s from Buxton, four days before Poole.

Much Ado About Nothing (LINKED) is at Chichester, Manchester then London for a long run. This is a revival of the 2014 RSC production directed by Christopher Luscombe, and paired with Love’s Labour’s Lost under the title Love’s Labour’s Won. For the revival they have reverted to the better-known main title. One of the funniest plays you will ever see. A perfect introduction to Shakespeare too.

The highly-acclaimed 2014-2015 RSC productions of Love’s Labour’s Lost (LINKED) and Much Ado About Nothing (aka Love’s Labour’s Won) have been revived, and they are running at Chichester before going to Manchester and London. Though I reviewed the 2014 version, the cast changes mean a new review. It’s even better now.
