Green Day’s American Idiot Review

Sheffield Lyceum – until Saturday 30th March 2019

Reviewed by Charleigh Christmas

5*****

Having listened to Green Day’s songs and albums, and already being a fan, I was particularly excited to go see this show. I can tell you it didn’t disappoint.

Built around Green Day’s American Idiot album, the story follows 3 men on a journey of self-discovery, while changing dreams, life, and a lot of drugs get in the way.

The bulk of the story was told through song and this drove the story forward, with a few scenes being dialogue only.

I thought the cast were brilliant. The commitment from each and every one of them was superb, there was no embarrassment or holding back, you felt like they put 110% into the performance.

I really felt an emotional connection to the characters. The cast are too many to name every one of them, but a couple of stand outs for me were Tom Milner, who played “Johnny”, Luke Friend “St Jimmy” and Samuel Pope “Will”. Tom Milner’s commitment to the show was evident, as he had to perform some gruelling scenes and did so with what seemed like ease. I feel Samuel Pope added some lightness to the scenes, and had really good comic timing. Luke Friend brought the raw energy and animalism to the role of “St Jimmy” that was equally disturbing and brilliant.

The choreography was amazing, and again the cast put 100% into the dance routines. Obviously I thought the songs were amazing, and I think that having the band on stage through the play was also a really great decision. They were as much part of the production as the rest of the cast.

I think the set was extraordinary, it drew me in from the start and I love how the story was able to progress across three different locations on one stage.

The ending for me was the climax to a brilliant show, the cast received a very much deserved standing ovation as they came on for their final song.

Brilliantly cast and superbly directed, I would definitely recommend this show!

The Picture of Dorian Gray Review

Darlington Hippodrome – until 30 March 2019

3***

Tilted Wig Productions bring Oscar Wilde’s most notorious works to Darlington this week.  When originally written, the book shocked with its hedonistic and homoerotic themes. The scandal of which sent the author to jail.

In parts this is more 50 Shades, especially with one scene in the second act, when Dorian (Gavin Fowler) and Henry (Jonathan Wrather) party in a self gratifying, decadent manner.

We start the tale with Dorian being painted by Basil Hallward (Daniel Goode), Basil is in love with Dorian, he feels he can only paint when young Dorian is with him and then he produces his best work.  At a sitting, Henry meets Dorian and begins to lead him astray.

Dorian meets actress Sybil Vane (Kate Dobson) and falls in love with her, asking her to marry him after watching her perform for a few weeks.  She calls him Prince Charming and agrees to marry him. Sybil loses her ability to act the more she falls in love and Dorian only wants the perfect actress and breaks the engagement.  Heartbroken Sybil kills herself. The shock of her death sends Dorian further into the underworld of indulgence, immorality and depravity.

Whilst Wilde’s story has the premise that Gray’s portrait ages and shows his rotten and twisted soul whilst Gray himself stay eternally young.  In this version we never see a painting, instead it’s glass in a frame which starts off clear but ages and dulls with scratches and breaks as the play progresses.

With more than one suicide, seduction and murder this is a still quite a moralistic play even with today’s liberal attitudes.

In Darlington until Saturday and on tour around the UK, this is definitely one to see if you are a fan of Wilde

A fun afternoon at The Inspirational Kids Fashion Show!

York Inspirational Kids Fashion Show

Grand Opera House York

Saturday 30 March 2019 at 2.30pm

A fun afternoon with disabled children & young people and their families who will take you on a journey of creativity, colour and inclusion. Be ready to smile. Fundraising for Stimul8 – to build a leisure and training facility for disabled children and young people in York.

Having a disabled child of her own, Ruth Thompson realises the difficulties faced by many families when trying to access mainstream activities. Her 14 year old daughter was born with a virus called Cytomegalovirus (CMV), which caused to her to have a stroke, attacked her optic nerve causing her to be born blind, though she now has a little bit of vision, severe epilepsy and learning difficulties. As Georgina has grown up Ruth became aware of more and more gaps in provision for play and development. Despite having the vision for Stimul8 7 years ago, with the help of her business partner Jo Rodwell the pair have resurrected the plans and begun fundraising to build a state of the art facility providing nursery care for very complex needs children, fully adapted play centre and NVQ/ training hub plus some paid work for disabled children and young people.

Ruth says ‘As Georgina has grown I’ve become more and more aware of the gaps in provision and just knew I needed to do something about it. With Jo’s help we know this is going to make a difference to so many families.’

Ruth also runs York Inspirational Kids, a support group for families who have a disabled child. They decided to get involved with York Fashion Week to show fashion designers, retailers and others involved within the fashion industry that disabled children also want to be fashionable but need a few adaptations to be made to help them access everyday clothing. Items such as adjustable clothing, adapted fastenings such as magnets or Velcro, fashionable shoes with Velcro fastenings in adult sizes and seamless clothing to accommodate sensory issues.

Jo says ‘at the end of the day they’re just children who want to have fun and dress like their peers. If they need wider legs to help go over splints, higher waists or longer tee shirts to enable wheelchair users not to get cold then it really shouldn’t be too much to ask. Just getting a wheelchair into some of the stores can be impossible. This fashion show will highlight these children’s fashion needs and will showcase what some retailers are doing to accommodate them. We are so grateful that the Grand Opera House also thought this was a priority too and is enabling us to put on this show. ‘

The aim of the show is to raise awareness, encourage inclusivity as well as raising funds to build Stimul8.

The Girl on the Train Review

King’s Theatre, Edinburgh – until 30 March 2019

Reviewed by James Knight

2**

Rachel Watson (Samantha Womack) is a mess. Alcoholic and depressed, unable to live the life of which she had dreamed with her now ex-husband Tom (Adam Jackson-Smith), she watches the people she can see from her train journeys and imagines who they are, who they could be, and what it might be like to live as them. In particular, she focuses on Megan and Scott Hipwell (Kirsty Oswald and Oliver Farnworth), or as she imagines them, Jess and Jason. Of course, surely nothing could come of the fact that they live just a few doors down from Rachel’s ex and his new family? So when Megan goes missing, and Rachel has gaps in her memory, the stage is set for an intimate thriller.

The Girl on the Train was a stunning success as a book and film, and so, naturally, producers wanted to turn it into a theatrical production. The end product is, like Rachel’s memory, lacking in clarity. Apart from some clever uses of light and projection, and strong performances from the supporting characters of D.I. Gaskill (John Dougall) and Anna Watson (Lowenna Melrose), the term ‘thriller’ cannot truly be applied to the lack of enthusiasm in almost any other aspect. The stakes simply do not feel high enough. Without the use of multiple points of view from the book, and the visual language of the film, the stage version suffers. Not that the book is un-stageable, far from it, but the determinedness to present the events as naturalistically as possible means that when the more stylistic interpretations of Rachel’s memories and drunken stupors are shown, it comes across as forced and jarring.

The lack of effort is particularly frustrating as actors speak words and step to their marks to deliver them, with little thought or intention. Little is done to convince the audience to care for Rachel’s predicament and too many scenes just devolve into shouting clunky and cliched dialogue. The second half is a marked improvement on the first, as events and revelations come to light, but by then it is difficult to stay engaged.

The original production at the West Yorkshire Playhouse was slated critically, and it seems little has been done to improve on what was not working.

The House on Cold Hill Review

HULL NEW THEATRE, HULL – UNTIL SATURDAY 30TH MARCH.

REVIEWED BY DAWN BENNETT

5*****

Moving into a new house should be a happy time but Peter James’ The House on Cold Hill (adapted for stage by Shaun Mckenna} proves it can be as far away from happy as possible!

Set in in the modern day, in an 800-year-old country house, we meet the family Ollie Harcourt (Joe McFadden), his wife Caro (played brilliantly by understudy Hannah Lindsey) and teenage daughter Jade (Persephone Swales-Dawson).

They move into the house (which has been strangely standing empty for 40 years) and start renovating with the help of builder Phil (Leon Stewart) and this is when the fun starts, the electrics go awry, pipes groan, doors bang shut or slowly open and all this can seem to be explained logically…or can it?

Chris (Charlie Clements), is the IT “geek” from the village who is brought in by Ollie to help with his web design business and sort out the Wi-Fi. His transformation from mild mannered IT man to ghost hunter is brilliantly written and acted.

The history of the house starts to unravel and we learn about the previous residents with some scary scenes that were made the people around me jumpy! The tension gets broken by the slightly dotty cleaner Annie (Tricia Deighton) who’s lines, and talent for mediumship make you laugh one minute and gasp with shock the next.

Fortinbras the Vicar (Padraig Lynch) offers some more history of the house, some more of what had happened to its residents and a blessing with some very interesting results!

Along with O’Hare (Simon Balcon) we are treated to excellent acting from all the cast, the characters are very believable, particularly Joes character Ollie who is the gel that holds the family together.

Everything from the set to set to the special effects was very well done.

A dark atmospheric production full of tension and humour and if you like Peter James’ books, and ghost stories in general, I would highly recommend you go and see it.

If you want to know the ending…well that would be telling!!

Zog Flies Into Storyhouse Next Week

Freckle Productions and Rose Theatre Kingston present Zog

From the book by Julia Donaldson with illustrations by Axel Scheffler

ZOG THE DRAGON FLIES

INTO STORYHOUSE NEXT WEEK

The highly anticipated family stage show Zog flies into Chester next week for three days at Storyhouse.

Zog comes to Storyhouse from Friday 5 April to Sunday 7 April 2019, for six performances only. Tickets are on sale now.
