		<description><![CDATA[BEST PRODUCTION: HANSEL AND GRETEL, TEDDY HALL
Review by Paul Hardwick
&#8220;there was little disagreement that it was between ‘Hansel and Gretel’ and ‘The Lovers’. Both were near faultless and considerably better than much of what is put on at the BT.&#8221;
10.00 a.m. Snake in the Grass, Regents Park: &#8220;a dialogue of monologues that saw Ruby Thomas pick up the Best Actress award for a darkly disturbing under-played Miriam&#8221;
10.45 a.m. Top Girls, St Johns: &#8220;the pacing and choice of scenes hampered the actresses noticeably&#8221;
11.30 a.m. Hansel and Gretel, Teddy Hall: &#8220;a triumph of comedy and style&#8221;

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;And what a script&#8221; Paul Hardwick 
Superwoman 
Wadham, Friday 27th November, 3.45pm,
Review by Paul Hardwick
Ella Evans must be commended not only for chancing her arm at writing, directing and starring in Superwoman but in doing it so very well. The play was little more than a stream of consciousness centred about the protagonist’s reflection and reflections at seeing a beautiful woman pass in the street. Evans, surrounded by a trio chorus, accompanied a self-recording of her monologue with an array of actions and line echos. Not only did this add depth ...]]></description>

A Brief History of Time&#8230;and Other Muses 
Regents Park, Friday 28th November 2009, 8:30pm
Review by Max Mulvany
Considering the writer and director of this sprawling epic had the entire history of the whole world ever ever to muse over this was a surprisingly laugh-free event.  The large ensemble cast could not be blamed for dashing their sometimes witty lines when they were only able to maintain a character for roughly five seconds before the next De Lorian drag race into something completely unrelated. Most bemusing ...]]></description>

Citizenship 
Keble College, Friday 28th November 2009, 7:45pm
Review by Max Mulvany
A long production that to its credit retained the audience&#8217;s attention span throughout. It retained it however at a consistently average level, so that despite various life-changing issues the characters had a look in their eyes of defeatism from start to finish. The play deals with the sexual identity of its protagonist Tom, a tracksuit-wearing weed-smoking ordinary guy. He was worthy of praise for setting up action around ...]]></description>

Hansel and Gretel 
Teddy Hall, Friday 28th November, 7pm
Review by Max Mulvany
Stylistically strong and hilarious throughout, this student-penned production is to be commended for the consistency of entertainment from start to finish. The trio of mine-artist storytellers who control this yarn like rather sinister puppeteers are supported by a hilariously innocent Hansel and Gretel, the babes abandoned in the wood to the sugary charms of the fairytale witch. Convincing costumes, props, original live musical accompaniment (and ...]]></description>

The Mystery at Twickenham Vicarage 
New College Thursday 26th November 8:30pm
Review by Charlotte Mulliner
This play was like Agatha Christie on speed, with a cast of colourful caricatures. When the ‘Priapic’ Jeffery is shot, Inspector Dexter is sent in to interrogate the suspects: his wife, the vicar, and the vicar’s wife. A story of swingers and sordid encounters with various items of furniture unfolds, with a dash of theological questioning thrown in for good measure. The cast all handled their highly ...]]></description>

Rompalottalus 
Balliol Thursday 26th November 7.45pm
Review by Charlotte Mulliner
Written in a single night by student Scott Carless, Rompalottalus was a perfect choice for Cuppers and a classicist’s wet dream. A fast-paced and farcical parody of Greek comedy, it tells the story of the slave Phormio’s noble battle to get Athens’ brothels re-opened in order to win his bride. It was a brilliant ensemble cast, all taking part with panache. There are some great characters, such as Cyrus, the ...]]></description>

Musgrave Ritual 
Magdalen, Friday 27th November, 2.15pm,
Review by Paul Hardwick
The Musgrove Ritual was an excellent adaptation of a Sherlock Holmes Radio Play, dramatising the recording of the original radio programme aided by a fantastic set authentically recreating a green room and adjacent recording studio. The action was commanded by the highly theatrical Sherlock Holmes of Vyvyan Almond and his whipping boy Mark Heath. Almond’s portrayal of an actor silently despairing ...]]></description>

Fugee 
Somerville, Wednesday 25th November, 8.30pm,
Review by Paul  Hardwick
Moralising plays are highly dangerous; quite often they are some  of the most tedious pieces of theatre to watch. Not so with Fugee. Gripping from  the onset, the cast portrayed the protagonist’s descent into refugee related  hell superbly. The acting was consistently of an high standard; despite the cast  playing multiple roles, such was the quality of characterisation I ...]]></description>
