Review of THE MAN IN THE WHITE SUIT (follow link). Written and directed by Sean Foley, adapted from the 1951 Ealing Comedy. We saw it in Bath, on its pre-London run. It will be in London until January. This is going to be a massive stage success, 5 star.

Our favourite play, A Midsummer Night’s Dream, at the Globe (FOLLOW LINK), directed by Sean Holmes. This one goes flat out as a crowd-pleaser, very broad, very funny. Interactive. Definitely one to see even if it lacks some subtleties. Picture: Bottom as a carnival donkey with Titania.

Review added of Noel Coward’s “Present Laughter” (LINKED) which opens the Chichester Festival Season 2018. Directed by Sean Foley, with Rufus Hound in the lead role. This goes all out for comedy … it is very funny, though broader than usual. Excellent.
Picture: Rufus Hound as Garry & Lucy Briggs-Owen as Joanna.

Review of the Sean Foley directed The Dresser, with Ken Stott and Reece Shearsmith. After a much acclaimed London run, the production is on tour. Here at Chichester. It’s a backstage tragicomedy set in 1942, while they’re playing (trying to play?) King Lear.

Review of the Kenneth Branagh Company’s third production, The Painkiller (LINKED), a full-on French farce with Kenneth Branagh as a hit man and Rob Brydon as the suicidal Welsh photographer in the next hotel room, it may not sound funny, but it is hilarious and the support cast is first-rate too.
