Review: Dead Poets Live: Briggflatts – The Coronet Theatre, London

Marina Funcasta reviews Simon McBurney's performance of Basil Bunting's "Briggflatts," likening it to T.S. Eliot's work. While the production captivates with its modernist themes and engages the audience, it sometimes struggles with pace and deeper exploration of Bunting's darker biographical aspects. Ultimately, the experience highlights Bunting's connection to his audience.

Review: Stories for Boys – Drayton Arms Theatre, London

"Stories for Boys," directed by Hope Wishart and written by Kieron Barry, captivates with its unpredictable narrative and surreal elements. The play explores love and mortality through whimsical characters, Asso and Basso, amidst absurd skits by a chorus. Its unique design enhances its dreamlike quality, blending comedy and tragedy seamlessly.
