Analytical Reviews of the Theatres of London.
King's Shakespeare Company brings a charming and modern revival of William Shakespeare's Comedy of Errors to the stage of The Cockpit in London. A true delight to watch. Ignoring plot, I will start with characterisation. This play held a range of characterisation and performing abilities, but a problem arose here when finding an acting style.... Continue Reading →
Unfortunately, I will start this review as it will end. I liked little of this performance. It had hardly any volume, depth or tone. I will start with set. On entering the auditorium, we are greeted with two red chairs and a black stage. This changes with every scene, but only minutely, the chairs being... Continue Reading →
