WOMAN BEFORE A GLASS – Jermyn Street Theatre ★★
Woman Before a Glass is about infamous art collector and socialite Peggy Guggenheim – also apt as the theatre is not too far away from where she opened her gallery Guggenheim Jeune exactly 80 years ago.
MISS JULIE – Jermyn Street Theatre ❤❤❤❤
Howard Brenton’s adaptation of Strindberg’s Miss Julie is sharp and observant in which the tension is carefully built up in Tom Littler’s production.
MISS JULIE – Jermyn Street Theatre ★★★★★
Tom Littler directs, and is admirably unafraid to start leisurely, almost lazy, with desultory kitchen conversation, a meal eaten, long pauses and passing remarks between valet and cook.

Jermyn Street Theatre’s dynamic 2018 spring season 2018 focuses on scandal and its impact with four plays: Woman Before a Glass, Mad as Hell, Hilda & Virginia and The Dog Beneath the Skin.
ANYTHING THAT FLIES – Jermyn Street Theatre ★★★★
When I read that Anything that Flies was her debut play by writer, Judith Burnley, I naturally assumed it was a young playwright being given a big chance by Jermyn Street’s new artistic director, Tom Littler.
THE BLINDING LIGHT – Jermyn Street Theatre ★★★★
Howard Brenton gives us a barn-storming role for the actor playing Strindberg – in this case, Jasper Britton – and the women who appear in his life.

Howard Brenton’s latest takes a scalpel to the collapsing mind of playwright August Strindberg.

THE BLINDING LIGHT – Jermyn Street Theatre ★★★★★
This is a terrific coup for director Tom Littler’s debut as artistic director of the little Jermyn Theatre, now becoming a full producing-house. He commissioned this extraordinary 90-minuter from no less a writer than Howard Brenton.
