That was the weekend we knew the theatres would go dark
On the weekend of 14 March 2020, following the closure of theatre on Broadway (on 12 March), it became clear that something overwhelming was about to happen to British theatre.
‘Enthralling, thought-provoking & terrifically well acted’: HONOUR – Park Theatre ★★★★
Joanna Murray-Smith’s 2003 play Honour is surprisingly relevant to the current #MeToo debate while highlighting a generational division over the question of love and fidelity.
‘Stubbs gives a stunning performance’: HONOUR – Park Theatre
‘There’s no fool like an old fool’ is an adage that sums up much of Honour, now playing at the Park Theatre. The play introduces Henry Goodman and Imogen Stubbs as married couple George and Honour.
‘Delivers plenty in terms of emotion’: HONOUR – Park Theatre
Paul Robinson’s production of Honour at the Park Theatre really captures the perceptiveness of the writing by bringing together a strong cast to bring the characters effectively to life.
‘Enthrals, amuses & prods painfully at the emotional culture of today’: HONOUR – Park Theatre ★★★★
Honour is an old story indeed – and an artfully updated 1995 play by Joanna Murray-Smith – but so beautifully performed in Paul Robinson’s austerely set production that it feels very up to date.

PROMISES, PROMISES – Southwark Playhouse
On the face of it, you could see why reviving Promises, Promises would be an appealing prospect – written by Neil Simon from a Billy Wilder film and featuring a score by Burt Bacharach and Hal David. But digging even just a little deeper – a running time of nearly 3 hours and an antiquated set of gender politics made it a tough one to watch, and an even tougher one to excuse in today’s society.

PROMISES, PROMISES – Southwark Playhouse
Promises, Promises at the Southwark Playhouse is a delightful splash of Burt Bacharach, in a musical set in 1960s New York and which hasn’t played in London for nigh on fifty years.

REVIEW ROUND-UP: My Mother Said I Never Should at the St James Theatre
Maureen Lipman and Katie Brayben star in Charlotte Keatley’s 1987 play about the relationships between mothers and daughters, running at London’s St James Theatre until 21 May 2016 – but what has the reaction been?
MY MOTHER SAID I NEVER SHOULD – St James Theatre
This is a return to grand form for Lipman whose natural comic timing is best deployed undercutting the more strident statements and hinting at the unvoiced disappointments of marital life. She still needs a director brave enough to tell her that Manchester isn’t in the East Riding of Yorkshire and to drag her accent from native Hull to the other end of the M62, but it’s a finely detailed performance across a swathe of the century from tutoring piano lessons as a tetchy wartime martinet to the abandon of popping off her pop socks in an eighties Oldham garden.
MY MOTHER SAID I NEVER SHOULD – St James Theatre
Spirited revival of the 1980s feminist classic is a bit too shrill, yet also quietly moving when it matters.
MY MOTHER SAID I NEVER SHOULD – St James Theatre
A story of four generations of strong women, an exploration into the meaning of family, being a mother, a child, sister and grandmother. Do we learn from the mistakes we or others make or is it a series of conscious decisions influenced by the childhood we’ve had that shape us as adults.
