My Melodrama
One of the more upbeat (albeit darkly comic) things I\'ve seen recently. First half much better than second but the staging is very impressive.
Catch while you still can
Entertaining Mr Sloane
Nadia Fall launches her first season as Young Vic Artistic Director with Joe Orton’s 1964 cult-classic dark comedy (it hasn’t been revived in 20 years).
When lonely Kath offers the mysterious Mr Sloane a room to rent in the family home, her businessman brother Ed does not approve. After all, what will people say? But soon, he becomes equally taken with the charismatic young Sloane. Only their old Dada remains wary, convinced that he recognises this stranger. What begins as a convenient living arrangement spirals into a dangerous game of desire and deceit.

Melodrama Must-See
GIANT
New York
“I was lucky enough to see this at The Royal Court and it was unforgettable. John Lithgow transforms into a complex, curmudgeonly Roald Dahl and leaves you with your jaw on the floor by the play's end. Sophisticated in its writing, Giant is deceptively witty, haunting and timely.”
