Geek!
Wilma’s Rating [rating=5] Scott Morgans musical Geek! opened at the Tristan Bates Theatre last night after two sold out previews.

Doktor Glas
Rating [rating=4] Reviewed by Roz Carter You would be hard pushed to find a play in the West End that makes you feel more like an intellectual than Hjalmar Söderberg’s Doktor Glas, which is now playing at Wyhdham’s Theatre. Striking while the Scandinavian iron is still hot and the idea of surtitles still acceptable. […]
