Review (https://peterviney.wordpress.com/stage/the-resistible-rise-of-arturo-ui/) of The Resistible Rise of Arturo Ui, by Brecht, at the Donmar in London. The well-known cast is led by Lenny Henry as Arturo Ui, and the play parallels the rise of Hitler with the rise of Chicago gangster, Arturo Ui.

Review of John Milton’s “Comus: A Masque in Honour of Chastity” at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse. Director Lucy Bailey and writer Patrick Barlow have created a frame play, based on its 1634 original production. The result is very funny and very lively.

Review of The Importance of Being Earnest, (LINKED) starring David Suchet as Lady Bracknell. An excellent, straightforward version of my favorite post-Shakespeare British comedy.

Review of John Ford’s ‘Tis Pity She’s A Whore at the Sam Wanamaker Playhouse at Shakespeare’s Globe. A first-rate production opening the winter indoor season. The second production I’ve seen of this play this year.
