Harold & Maude at the Charing Cross Theatre is not dangerous or daring, but a light few hours of frivolous fun.
‘A third dimension of pure class’: Harold & Maude – Charing Cross Theatre
This new stage version of Harold & Maude says more about modern attitudes to ageing, about feminism, migration and seizing opportunities than the current slew of angry Fringe diatribes. And it says it more elegantly.
‘Hopeful, joyous and hilarious’: Harold & Maude – Charing Cross Theatre ★★★★
When told well, coming of age stories are very often a reminder of the fragility and beauty of life, inspiring a carpe diem attitude tempered with immense gratitude. That the ‘Harold and Maude effect’ delivers this message completely liberated of any subtleties is a shining beacon of hope for humanity in otherwise trying times.
Robin Hood & the Babes in the Wood (with Sandy Grigelis) – Stafford ★★★★★
It’s been a long time since I last saw Robin Hood And The Babes In The Wood performed, and it was a very different incarnation to the Rock ‘N’ Roll version currently being staged at Stafford Gatehouse Theatre. This particular version has become one of my favourite pantomimes of the season!
