Sublime Spiderwoman

June 14, 2007

I was lucky enough to catch Kiss Of The Spiderwoman at the Lowry on Tuesday, direct form the Donmar. What a stunning little play this turned out to be. Apart form a non menacing voice-over in place of a tough prison guard, this play was nigh on faultless. Rupert Evans and Will Keen give really heartfelt performances in a beautiful, welcome revival. If you get the chance to go before it closes on Saturday, it is worth it. More thoughts on the play, here.

From a classic- to a Broadway hit, I saw 42nd Street at the Opera House, last night. This toe tapping show is worth seeing for the excellent ensemble and a lovely lead. But, unfortunately it lacks heart and the cheap set makes it looks distinctly amateur. At £32.50 a ticket, an audience need more than a few painted backdrops. This is a fun show and it zips along in act two, but the set will grate on you, especially when it wobbles.

My review of 42nd Street will be on the main site tomorrow (Fri).

Have a good weekend, but with no Any Dream Will Do, what are you going to do?!!
