There aren’t too many reasons you’d want to watch acting that’s uninspired and unsure, the performer (Paul Morrison) flopping his jelly about on-stage, self-indulgently carrying on in a variety of strained accents.

The raw quality of the acting coupled with the thought provoking subject matter makes for a very enjoyable and highly entertaining piece.

Loot is a classic farce, burnished warmly by history’s hand. But this production doesn’t spark in the way it might and the reasons are unclear.

It is a fantastic privilege to attend performances such as these. It raises us lesser mortals to Olympus for a moment.

And They Called Him Mr Glamour | Black Lung Theatre and Whaling Firm

If you like words, abstract ideas with lucid explanations, plenty of connotations and allusions to free your imagination, and a continual rolling around of these concepts, then you’ll like this show.

The Book of Everything is a kaleidoscope of images, ideas, emotions, characters and possibilities juxtaposed with the harsh realities of domestic life in the wake of World War Two.

Smashed is an incredibly imaginative, engaging and delightful performance.

Dancing at Lughnasa | New Theatre
A gifted embroider of words, Friel combines soft lyricism and hard meaning in his play, a tragical comical historical pastoral on a spree and spoiling for a spirited spar.
The First Murder | Pinchgut Opera
In the care of Pinchgut Opera’s director, Erin Helyard, this music, formulaic as it indeed is in some respects, sprang off the page into an experience rich in emotions.
Izzard: The Tragedy of Hamlet
To Shakespeare’s text be true is the obvious goal here, and writer, director and actor have each scored.
Dirty Rotten Scoundrels | Redfern Lane Productions
Unabashedly and unapologetically entertaining, Dirty Rotten Scoundrels delights in its hoax hokum, a whimsical hustle of musical comedy bustle.
Continuity | New Theatre
On the set of a big-budget Hollywood eco-thriller, the clock is ticking for an on time and under budget wrap.
