A Midsummer Night’s Dream @ New Theatre

Thespians are a superstitious breed. It was an auspicious sign, that on the opening night of Adna Duherich’s production, New Theatre was bathed in the ethereal glow of moonlight under a cloudless sky: the perfect setting for a Dream. It is a minor quibble that before the show…

New Theatre Uncut- ‘Tread Softly’ @ The Den

On the surface, Jim Cartwright’s Bed may seem to be laden with darkly layered themes; the oppression of insomnia, the fears of death and loneliness and the inevitable fate of growing old. However, director James McAndrew cast a heart-warming glow on the play’s more ominous topics all tucked…

‘Macbeth’ @ The New Theatre

It is brave to take on a play as well-known, and as engrained in the Western canon as Macbeth. A lot of thespians take on the challenge of “doing Shakespeare”, yet it is an endeavour that leaves itself open to criticism – let’s face it, everyone seems to…
