‘Orton-esque in its conceit’: THE HOUSE OF YES – Hope Theatre ★★★★
As Matthew Parker’s swansong as artistic director at the Hope Theatre, The House of Yes isn’t afraid to show the underbelly of ‘respectable society’.
‘The cast of five excel themselves’: THE HOUSE OF YES – Hope Theatre ★★★★
Excellent direction combines with all design elements to create a truly atmospheric piece in The House Of Yes at the Hope Theatre, a bold choice of play that serves as a fitting end to Matthew Parker’s tenure.
‘A heady combination’: Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story – Hope Theatre
A twisted but thrilling true crime two-hander, Thrill Me: The Leopold & Loeb Story is a must-see at the Hope Theatre.
‘The historic feel adds that extra bit of magic’: DRACULA – London Library ★★★★
This new adaptation of the Dracula hints at a darker future, performed brilliantly by a cast of two – the historic surroundings of the London Library adds an extra bit of magic to proceedings.
Q&A video & photos: Returning Bram Stoker’s Dracula to the scene of the literary crime
The bookworm in me adores everything about libraries and they don’t get much more atmospheric, or historic, than The London Library, the world’s oldest independent lending library – and now a highly unconventional theatrical venue for Creation Theatre Company’s latest offering, Dracula.
‘A compelling, atmospheric take on Stoker’s classic’: DRACULA – London Library ★★★★
Creation Theatre’s Dracula is a compelling, atmospheric take on Stoker’s classic. While it’s the first play to be staged in the London Library, in such grand surroundings as this it’s sure not to be the last.
