“The world hasn’t ended. But it’s not getting better. It just keeps going on – and on – and on – and on.” A pretty grim statement, but so speaks the Chorus at the end of the New Theatre’s recent performance of Faust is Dead. By the time…

‘All My Sons’ @ New Theatre

Now in its second outing since its debut in 2007, Opera North’s Madama Butterfly reached Nottingham last night on a wave of critical success.
