[Review] Good Luck, Studio – Giggles, Groans, and a Gun

Curtain Call

“Wibble! Wibble! The dragon who can jump and dance and giggle!” Last week, I had the pleasure of attending a performance of Good Luck, Studio, a new Mischief show that has been touring since the beginning of October of this year. Mischief is known for its different comedy shows, with the most famous being The Play That Goes Wrong, which would go on to become a television show on the BBC, The Goes Wrong Show (Mischief’s time with the BBC actually inspired this new production!). Good Luck, Studio, which takes a darker turn than Mischief’s previous works, is written by … Continue reading [Review] Good Luck, Studio – Giggles, Groans, and a Gun

A New Take on Twelfth Night

Curtain Call

By Dorothy Grace Franklin Photo:  Marc Brenner I had the pleasure to see the summer season’s last production of “Twelfth Night” at the Globe. Being a massive literature fan, especially Shakespearean, I was thrilled to hear I would be studying this play for my school course, and I was even more thrilled to hear a production of it was taking place when I was visiting London. The use of the Globe’s staging was intriguing to say the least. With a deer carcass hung from the ceiling (in reference to the numerous conversations and comparisons between love and hunting), and a … Continue reading A New Take on Twelfth Night

Romeo & Juliet at the Globe Theatre, between modernity and wake up call

Curtain Call

By Constance Drugeot Image: Marc Brenner After living in London for three years, I finally went to see a play at the Shakespeare’s Globe Theatre. For my first time, I decided to book the iconic Romeo & Juliet, directed by Ola Ince and Rachel Lemon, as assistant director.  Having studied Shakespeare’s works as part of my studies for a long time but having never seen a live theatre production of Romeo & Juliet before, I was really looking forward to it! So, on a Saturday matinee in early October, I finally stepped inside the famous Globe Theatre. The theatre in … Continue reading Romeo & Juliet at the Globe Theatre, between modernity and wake up call

After Too Many Years Lost in History, the Six Queens are Ready to Take Their Crowning Glory on Broadway

Curtain Call

By Helen Sullivan  Image: Joan Marcus Six has not had the most conventional path to open on Broadway, to say the least. Hours before the show was set to open, Broadway was shut down due to the COVID-19 pandemic.  Family and friends were in town to celebrate, gifts were ready at the theatre for cast and crew, and the after party was all booked for the show’s triumphant opening. Until, finally, 18 months later, Six was ready to take their crowning glory on Broadway. The show resumed previews at the Brooks Atkinson Theatre on September 17th to sold-out crowds and … Continue reading After Too Many Years Lost in History, the Six Queens are Ready to Take Their Crowning Glory on Broadway

My Experience watching ‘The Lion King’ in the West End

Curtain Call

By Clémentine Pruvost Picture: Dewynters Photography Opened in the West End since October 1999, The Lion King is a delight for all ages. Old and young have roamed the halls of the Lyceum Theatre in sheer joy. But is it really a show for everyone? From the very first note of the opening number, I started to have goosebumps all over. Then, Rafiki started singing and I was on the edge of my seat. This show, these songs, this story mean so much to me. They remind me of a time in my life where I was surrounded by loving … Continue reading My Experience watching ‘The Lion King’ in the West End
