Kit Brookman’s new play, A Rabbit for Kim Jong-Il, appears to be a charming, absurdist work about the covert appropriation of a colony of gigantic German rabbits by a North Korean emissary. But it is actually based on a bizarre, but true story.

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.
Stage Kiss | New Theatre
There’s a palpable playfulness to these performances, disciplined, drilled and delightful. There’s fire, bite and fun and lots of kissing.

Iolanthe and Janet Anderson work in cosmic, comedic accord, characterisation charismatic, timing impeccable, delivery precise, together a tour de force that ascends the cliché.
