Simon Ward reviews the end of history… at The Royal Court Neon shining proudly across Sloane Square, the end of history… feels like it could be a great Royal Court moment. A moment to shake the middle classes out of their complacency and challenge their most cherished beliefs. […]
Harry Bignell reviews Beats on Pointe at the Peacock Theatre. Following a clunky introduction where the audience had to shout, “Your mic’s not working!” for the compare to realise we could not hear a word he was saying, Beats on Pointe explode onto the shabby chic stage of […]
