Red Ellen, at the Lyceum, co-produced with the Nottingham Playhouse and Northern Stage, suffers from many of the faults that affect biographical drama, and is far too long for its own good. Nevertheless, it has an abundance of compassion and an excellent central performance from Bettrys Jones.
‘A bold & exciting interpretation’: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM – Wilton’s Music Hall
Wilton’s Music hall is dressed beautifully by Eleanor Field with a minimalist, grey tone design and little set. This is The Faction’s A Midsummer Night’s Dream, featuring an ensemble of seven actors playing all the parts.

‘A light & frothy interpretation’: A MIDSUMMER NIGHT’S DREAM – Wilton’s Music Hall
This is an enjoyable production of A Midsummer Night’s Dream for those who know the play. A light and frothy interpretation heavy on the laughs, less so on the love.
