Aladdin
Chock-full of high camp, low humour and puns cornier than a policeman’s feet. Dispense with your loftier critical faculties and giggle at the sight of Ian McKellen giving his all as Widow Twankey. CH
Old Vic, SE1

Michael Grandage brings Ibsen’s greatest play superlatively to life, respecting both its tragedy and moments of strange comedy. Sinead Matthews’s performance as Hedvig is astonishing. CH
Donmar Warehouse, WC2

Garrick, WC2
