What happens when you behave like a dictator. The judge said the center's board "lacked any meaningful say" in the matter when it voted for the 2 year closure for renovations on March 16 as Trump had already announced the plans on Truth Social on Feb. 1.

To end the week, I joined the plethora of choreographers and dancers who pitched-up for A LIFE IN FOUR SEASONS being presented at Regent’s Park Open Air Theatre.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ UNDER THE SHADOW at Almeida, Islington.
Ghoulish goings-on at a multi-tenanted Tehran building during a conflict, provides the audience with plenty to get jumpy about.

UNDER THE SHADOW at the Almeida, is a real jump-fest in places with a disarmingly gradual build.
Is that just a dark void above the ceiling?
Review tomorrow!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ DRIFTWOOD at Kiln Theatre, Kilburn.
Directed by Justin Audibert on an atmospheric set by Sadeysa Greenaway-Bailey, the players tap a rich seam of comedy and jeopardy inherent in Laird’s writing.

Bows from last evening’s rather terrific press night performance of DRIFTWOOD at Kiln Theatre at Kilburn which is a co-production with the RSC.
Review submitted by midnight last evening, which should go live some time this morning.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WE HAD A WORLD
at Hampstead Theatre.
The gently balanced interplay is laced with acid barbs, brutal observations, sensitivity and sweet compassion, resulting in a delicious ensemble piece worthy of Edward Albee.

⭐️⭐️⭐️ SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE at Southwark Playhouse.
Kurt Vonnegut’s madcap late 60s anti-war/sci-fi concoction gets a stage make-over with whacky projections.

For everyone involved with (or attending) Richmond Theatre’s ALLEGRA performance on Monday, hope you have an absolute blast. Hearing wonderful reports of Dame Maureen’s turn.

To end a week of taxing theatrical subject matter, Friday evening I ventured to @swkplay for the stage adaptation of Vonnegut’s SLAUGHTERHOUSE-FIVE.
Lots of inventive technical work and a modicum of weirdness made for interesting if not entirely satisfying viewing.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ ARE YOU WATCHING? at Royal Court.
Ultimately, little of the material tackled in the piece, is tidily resolved. It instead, triggers a multitude of tantalising (possibly heated) conversations, as patrons head home.

I braved the thundery showers and the tube strikes to reach Royal Court in good time for Georgie Dettmer’s ARE YOU WATCHING?

Last evening at Horizon 22 for a Champagne reception thingy. Real high society (rather than the fluff’n’stuff at the Barbican). 🍾😎

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ WAR HORSE
at National Theatre, Olivier.
The show stands as a rip-roaring and astounding achievement in theatre and (bizarrely) looks fresher and more vibrant than it did nearly 20 years ago.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ THE P WORD opened
at Bush Theatre.
The comedy and playful nuances of the pacy script, enable us to indulge in optimism as we root for this unlikely couple.
