Rating ***** Reviewed by Tony Peters The Chichester Festival continues its remarkable run of West End transfers with director Jonathan Kent’s faultless revival of Noël Coward’s romantic comedy.

The Ladykillers
Wilma’s Rating **** Having never seen The Ladykillers during its successful 2011 run, I was keen to go along and see what it was all about now that it is back in the West End at the Vaudeville Theatre. The show starts with dear old Mrs Wilberforce who has reported the local newsagent to the […]

The stage is set beautifully with incense being pumped into the theatre […]

BULLETS & DAFFODILS
Rating * Reviewed by Tony Peters The mark of a strong and lasting relationship is that one is prepared to forgive any transgressions and moments of weakness. It’s a rule that holds just as true for us lovers of theatre, but she can sometimes be a trying mistress. On paper this musical interpretation of Wilfred […]
