I was disappointed not to see Emma Rice‘s adaptation of Angela Carter‘s much-loved final novel Wise Children last year at the Old Vic Theatre or on its extensive tour, which concluded this past April at the Belgrade Theatre in Coventry… but delighted that I was given another chance to catch it last week thanks to More2Screen.
Scroll down for my on-the-night reaction – including bumping into adapter-director Emma Rice and her stars at Picturehouse Central. Be sure to check out More2Screen listings for encore screenings of this exuberantly theatrical play with music.
