Mini Reviews For Blog – Term 2
Legally Blonde
Omigod you guys, it is amazing. A breath of fresh air, just want the West End needs. A hugely talented cast of actors and not forgetting dogs. Gives the audience real escapism into a world of fashion, sorority and Chihuahua’s. One not to be missed.
The History Boys
Alan Bennett triumphs again. The play set in a 1980s fictional Grammar school tells the story of a group of boys preparing for Oxbridge entrance examinations with guidance from three contrasting teachers. The boys are interested in sex, sport and doing as little work as possible to gain their university place, which makes for witty entertainment.
The Pillowman
An exhilarating dark tale of a writers twisted child murdering stories coming to life. You could not fault the talent of the actors, an extremely strongly acted piece. All the characters were portrayed so differently, whether by the use of accents or gestures etc that made it interesting to watch as no character was similar to another.
The Spare Room
Everything changes when Sophia comes to stay. A successfully adapted version of The Visit. Funny, entertaining yet the climax is ultimately chilling.
Hedda Gabler
Although the simple set design was stunning and the script well acted it was slightly slow moving. Maybe too naturalistic, it lacked a wow factor.
