&#8220;The speed of the performance made it funny, but it meant it edged dangerously close to farce. In the first two acts, characters had the irritating habit of bumping into each other, as if this was a sound and unmistakeable way of expressing sexual attraction.&#8221; Eluned Gramich 
&#8220;The production on the whole is marked by its comedy, the screenplay adapter, Simon Reade, utilizing often Wilde-esque syntax and situational irony to turn the underlying humor of Austen’s masterpiece into laugh-out-loud hilarity.&#8221; Jessica Fast ...]]></description>

Friday 19th February; 5pm
&#8220;David Wood’s talk was more of a lecture focused on sharing accumulated knowledge on adapting children’s books to plays than it was about Dahl’s ‘utterly inventive world’.&#8221; Laurel Steinfield 
&#8220;He stated difficulties of working with theatre as a medium and incorporating elements of children’s literature into his work. He engaged his young audience, much like an educator rather than a lecturer would.&#8221; Judyta Frodyma

&#8220;The production is spot on, the direction, excellent. It is a classic piece, with all the finery you’d expect from an eccentric, possibly esoteric, Oxford-based play.&#8221; Sam Baker 
“Esoteric? Perhaps. Escapism? Not really. An Oxford play in Oxford may sound bona fide, but as demonstrated tonight, is perhaps experientially flawed.” Martin Parlett

&#8220;characters attempted to entertain Winnie with their jokes and life stories, however, like Winnie, I quickly lost interest.&#8221; Nick Dalbey 
&#8220;Alan Ayckborn has written more plays than his years. And at seventy years old, My Wonderful Day, his 73rdfull length play, has the intense quality of an ancient malt, or an aged Christmas cake. It is the most delicious of plays, but it is not new to the literary palette.&#8221; Martin Parlett

		<description><![CDATA[“You’ve got a ready-made hotbed of lust and sex. Betrayal. Hatred. Flaming, poisonous crowns and murdered children. Vengeance and passion. More girl power than a ten-woman hen night. Frankly, you’d be forgiven for thinking that all this would be theatrical enough without needing to signal every single moment of drama with little drum rolls, as this production did.” Madeline Wright 

Medea 
Review by Madeline Wright
If you put on a production of Medea, you’ve got a Greek tragedy of epic proportions. You’ve got a ready-made hotbed of lust and sex. Betrayal. ...]]></description>

Live Canon: War Poets 
Review by Madeline Wright
&#8220;There’s no getting around it: the Live Canon experience is, frankly, a bizarre one. The setup is deceptively simple: one stage, one hour, three performers, and thirty-seven war poems ranging from old stalwarts like Wilfred Owen and Siegfried Sassoon to newer offerings from modern poets. So far, so good, but the weirdness kicks in when the performers ...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[&#8220;Using one of the simplest theatrical techniques, with three white pieces of cloth which hung from the ceiling, a visual experience was created that was so stunningly horrific that I was literally flung back in my chair, unable to look away.&#8221; Ashleigh Wheeler 
&#8220;The surreal and disturbing world of the toyshop is brought to life by the vivid set design, half-concealing the torn parts of dummies and dolls, and by the live orchestra which accompanies the strange occurrences of the play with sliding atonal notes.&#8221; Eluned Gramich

Oxford Playhouse, Monday 23rd -Saturday 28th November
Mon-Sat 7.30pm; Sat 2.30pm.
&#8220;If you are lucky enough to still get tickets for the show this week (which, by the rate of their sale, is unlikely if you don’t call now) then safely assume this is probably the best amateur musical production you’ll find outside London.&#8221; Sam Baker 
&#8220;In most parts, it was sheer poetry. And I don’t think this is my bias for productions with a lot of good music speaking (and mind you, the songs and music were superb)&#8221; Abhishek Bhattacharyya
