Review added of Worst Wedding Ever (linked) at Salisbury Playhouse. An original drama production, written by Chris Chibnall. Excellent mainstream comedy, with a short tour following. This is a popular play which could run for years if it gets to the West End.

Review of The Magna Carta Plays, four one act plays commissioned by Salisbury Playhouse to reflect on the 800th Anniversary of the Magna Carta. I fall over backwards to avoid negative reviews. However, this was the worst stuff I’ve seen in a theatre in three years. Four very poor short plays. But hey, negative reviews can be more interesting than my normal positive ones.
