Blue Beard - review
Any production by Emma Rice’s Wise Children Theatre Company is an event. BLUE BEARD (link to review) is now on tour and we saw it in its first theatre on the run, Bath. Marvellous music, played by all the cast too. I think there are some teething problems, but all-in-al a must see.

Wuthering Heights Review: Be careful what you seed
Wuthering Heights at the National Theatre retools Brontë's classic into a Greek tragedy. Featuring many brilliant artistic choices - which almost always work - and stunning performances, the show could definitely benefit from some brutal cutting
Wise Children’s Wuthering Heights is theatrical and epic to the extreme, but is tonally worlds away from Brontë’s classic novel

Review: Wuthering Heights at York Theatre Royal
Review: Wuthering Heights at York Theatre Royal
What did I expect to see at the new Emma Rice production? Humour? Theatricality? Exhilarating style? I got all of those with a large helping of darkness and death. But it was a sense of The Wuthering Heights Experience that I took away with me.
