Review of Noel Coward’s “Blithe Spirit” at the Theatre Royal Bath. This is a major production, starring Jennifer Saunders as Madame Arcati, the medium who conjures up the spirit of Charles Condamine’s first wife, much to the annoyance of his second wife. Great classic comedy. Definitely worth the trip to Bath.

Review of Rupert Goold’s production of Richard III at the Almeida Theatre, (FOLLOW LINK) with Ralph Fiennes and Vanessa Redgrave. The cast is as good as anyone could assemble in 2016.

Review of Shakespeare’s King John at the Globe in London. This production for Magna Carta year has also played in churches, but here was in the open air on a sunny afternoon. A much better play than I had ever realized.
