The second review from this week’s Stratford-upon-Avon visit. The Royal Shakespeare Company presents Vanbrugh’s “The Provoked Wife” this time a raucous, bawdy Restoration comedy. This was way the better of the two plays this week.

Review of Florian Zeller’s “The Lie” (FOLLOW THIS LINK) at the Menier Chocolate Factory, Southwark. Translated by Christopher Hampton. This was a preview performance. It’s the companion piece to last year’s The Truth with four superb actors. You’ll be knocked out if it’s new to you, though if you have seen the counterpart, the plot won’t hold many surprises.

Review of The Rover (FOLLOW LINK) by Aphra Behn, at the Royal Shakespeare Company in Stratford. Aphra Behn was Britain’s first woman playwright, and this 1677 play is full of fun … dance, English cavaliers, three feisty sexy sisters, Latin American music, proud Spanish dons, sword fights, a laugh a minute. It has everything. It runs until February. One to see … watch out for RSC Live to cinema too.
