Angels In America: Divine!

June 7, 2007

I have spent nine hours in the theatre this week. Seven of these precious hours belonged to one production; Tony Kushner’s Angels In America. But, far from feeling fatigued, I find myself missing the production tonight- after spending two evenings in the company of Kushner’s captivating characters. If you were worried that this Aids related drama would appear dated, fear not, as it has lost nothing. A full review of this fantastic production is on the main site, here.

I also joined a packed Lowry audience to see Patricia Routledge tread the boards in Alan Bennett’s double bill, Office Suite. The first part was excellent, incredibly poignant and well performed. The second play though suffered from being too televisual. For a full review of Office Space, follow this link.

Office Space continues at the Lowry until Sat. Like-wise Angels In America finishes on Saturday. You can take in parts one and two in one day, if you book for Saturday. I would recommend this as it’s the best way to watch this classic. To book for either production, click here.

Next week I am reviewing 42nd Street for the main site and Kiss Of The Spiderwoman for this page. I will also post my last Any Dream Will Do recap: The Final on Sunday.

Before, I go, the whatsonstage Manchester micro-site is almost ready to run. So stay tuned for the next few weeks as the blog will cease. In its place will be a micro-site devoted to this wonderful city and its diverse theatre scene. Keep your eyes peeled for more updates.
