By Mert Dilek| The Arts Desk Verified Less than three years after her magnificent Macbeth, Yaël Farber returns to the Almeida with another Shakespeare tragedy. Her take on King Lear (main picture) offers a full-bodied, slow-burn version of this devastating drama, where Danny Sapani’s masterful performance as Lear sears the stage. While bringing a modern-dress aesthetic to Shakespeare’s play, Farber’s production sets great store by a poetic minimalism that foregrounds the expressive powers of her outstanding cast.
By Mert Dilek| The Arts Desk Verified Doom and gloom, we are told, may have abounded in the classical underworld, but Hadestown suggests otherwise. Returning to London five years after its run at the National Theatre, this time with a slew of TonyAwards, this bracing musical proves its mettle as a heart-warming and atmospheric feast of deeply soulful tunes. With music, lyrics, and book by American singer-songwriter Anaïs Mitchell, Hadestown reimagines familiar tales from mythology through exquisite songs and eloquent stagecraft.
By Mert Dilek| The Theatre Times Verified A solo performance in theatre may often trap us inside a single dramatic character, taking us deep into their interiority. Or it may zigzag feverishly between an astounding range of figures and plunge us into the vast expanse of a panoramic narrative. A case in point for the latter is Kip Williams’s stage adaptation of Oscar Wilde’s 1891 novel The Picture of Dorian Gray, which has now opened at the Theatre Royal Haymarket in London after a 2020 run at the Sydney Theatre Company.
