Caledonia’s Californian Critic. 124; Comments RSS. Any Given Day * *. Sweeney Todd * *. Blue Hen * *. Les Miserables-25th Anniversary tour * *. Posted on April 27, 2010. While this is fine, calling this the 25. Anniversary tour is cheating. It’s like celebrating someone’s birthday by giving presents and cake to an entirely different person. Empty Chairs at Empty Tables. Originally written for The Skinny. Playing at the Edinburgh Playhouse until May 15, 2010. Filed under: Touring theatre productions.

The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? **** | Caledonia's Californian Critic
https://michaelcoxonline.wordpress.com/2010/04/23/the-goat-or-who-is-sylvia
Caledonia’s Californian Critic. 124; Comments RSS. Any Given Day * *. Sweeney Todd * *. Blue Hen * *. The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? Posted on April 23, 2010. There is no polite way to put this. The Goat, or Who is Sylvia? Is about a happily married man who has entered into an adulterous affair with a farm goat. Written by the great Edward Albee, it is an interesting mixture of naturalistic and absurdist drama that relishes in making its audience squirm with laughter and shock. Leave a Reply Cancel reply.

June | 2010 | Caledonia's Californian Critic
https://michaelcoxonline.wordpress.com/2010/06
Caledonia’s Californian Critic. 124; Comments RSS. Any Given Day * *. Sweeney Todd * *. Blue Hen * *. Any Given Day * *. Posted on June 13, 2010. Any Given Day is a bit of an enigma. Like the jigsaw puzzles that two of its characters enjoy, the play is dependant more on the audience’s ability to put pieces together than it is on passive enjoyment. Kathryn Howden and Lewis Howden are marvels as Sadie and Bill. Playing such characters can be a minefield, and they thankfully avoid all of the convenient ...

Kursk **** | Caledonia's Californian Critic
https://michaelcoxonline.wordpress.com/2010/05/25/kursk
Caledonia’s Californian Critic. 124; Comments RSS. Any Given Day * *. Sweeney Todd * *. Blue Hen * *. Posted on May 25, 2010. Kursk is an excellent example of immersion theatre. Its success is built not on fine writing and acting (which it certainly has) but on how the production completely envelops its audience. Writer Bryony Lavery has written a very solid script. All five characters are richly drawn and speak dialogue that is convincing, and the story is well-structured with complicated plot twist...

Although we’ve been absent from the theatre for several months, it was never far away from our thoughts. Indeed, at one point we came very close to booking up for a London trip with “The Audience” as the focus for our weekend, so when our trip fell through we were delighted to see that it was to feature as part of NT Live.
