‘If you strip away the football, this is a play about masculinity, mental health & the toxic stereotypes that ultimately hinder performance’ @revstan may not be a football fan but #DearEngland at the @NationalTheatre is a whole different ball game #RT theatre.revstan.com/2023/06/…

‘Verbal punches come thick & fast in a satirical farce aimed squarely at the police’ The pace & energy of Daniel Rigby’s delivery never let up in Accidental Death of An Anarchist at Theatre Royal Haymarket, says @revstan #AnarchistWestEnd ★★★★ theatre.revstan.com/2023/06/…

Seen this? ‘It gets under your skin’: Dancing at Lughnasa at the National Theatre is slow to get going, says @revstan, but ultimately it is a play that is joyful & sad, charming & moving #theatrereviews dlvr.it/Sn0cDv

Seen this? ’Exploration of love & friendship’: As a play, Jules & Jim at the Jermyn Street Theatre is interesting, writes @revstan, but perhaps not as exciting as the lives the trio of characters seem to live #theatrereviews dlvr.it/SnGd7X

Seen this? ‘The physical fighting feels like an odd choice’: @revstan feels conflicted about the Donmar Warehouse’s Private Lives Yes, there is laughter, but the domestic violence makes it a different sort of play, & it doesn’t sit well #theatrereviews dlvr.it/Smk9fK

‘There is plenty to ponder’: @revstan likes how Women, Beware The Devil at the Almeida Theatre combines a light, contemporary feel with a dark, sometimes sinister, edge of horror, but still finds it a difficult play to pin down #theatrereviews dlvr.it/SkRMP4
