Review: Latitude Festival, part one (opens the original)
Read excerpt
It was 20 years ago today⦠Actually, this 20th edition of Latitude Festival is 21 years later due to Covid, though in some ways it feels like five minutes. In that time the festival has waxed and waned, its personality shifting with its demographic and its offering shaped by the harsh climate, both literal and financial, within which it has had to operate. Yet take a look at a site map of 2007 (the earliest I could find) and itâs surprising how little the basic layout has changed. The Second
Review: Lady Windermereâs Fan presented by Dot Productions at the Corn Hall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Itâs been a while Dot Productions brought a play to the Corn Hall, having previously favoured outdoor productions at the Oaksmere Pub. The companyâs USP is offering classic plays acted out unfashionably straight. Instead of vamping them up or busting down the fourth wall Dot refuses to indulge in any of that nonsense. Instead, with commendable faith in the text, in the audience, and in themselves for that matter, we get what the author intended. Admittedly, with a cast of only five actors, t
Review: All Aboard for the Waveney Valley Line by the Harleston Players (opens the original)
Read excerpt
The Harleston Players, uniquely amongst local groups, have an uncanny ability to reinvent themselves, almost from performance to performance. For the most part, the company favours light comedy, with a particular penchant for fourth wall busting foolishness. By way of contrast, they are also capable of producing coruscating drama, most notably the excellent These Shining Lives. On that occasion, faultless direction was provided by Eileen Ryan, which brings us nicely to the third string to The Pl
Review: Blue Fire Theatre Company at the Corn Hall (opens the original)
Read excerpt
In case youâre wondering, the playâs title is a twist on a classic London East End Jewish cuisine while the play itself is about a pioneering woman of the British trade union. Like many women who have stirred up the world, information about Sara Wesker is not easy to find, so author JJ Leppink worked with the local historians of Hackney to unearth her biography, faithfully recounted by Lottie Walker in her one woman show. Wesker was a garment worker in Spitalfields, now a gentrified district
Review: The Spy Who Came In From The Cold (opens the original)
Read excerpt
John le Carréâs 1963 novel, The Spy Who Came In From The Cold, is widely regarded as one of the defining espionage texts of the genre. Given the frequently explicit parallels drawn between spycraft and stage, it's surprising this is the first attempt at a theatrical adaptation. The play faithfully mirrors the novelâs story of British intelligence officer Alec Leamas, drawn into one final mission before coming in from the cold. Admittedly, the play is heavy on exposition, but once the crash
