Written by J.B.Priestley and currently being shown at the Novello Theatre this is an excellent social commentary. The casting is a bit weak, however Eric (the hopless, alcoholic younger brother) is amazing. The set is quite good and is quite deep. Outside is 1945- socialist society and inside is protected conservative 1912. Therefore when Sheila and Eric step outside we see that they are becoming more socialist. Mrs Birling was a bit too solidly built and over-bearing and Mr Birling had a very fake Northern accent. Sheila was a bit too drunk-s he is meant to be upset about the death and instead is giggling. Gerald is also a bit weak, not quite developed enough.

This is a play on at the Globe about Thomas Paine, an activist in the French and American Revolutions. It is reasonably humorous and has lovely costumes. There is lots of music and people walking through the audience. However the characters are not fully developed and at some points in the play you are left wondering who the characters are. It also tries to cover too much while still maintaining an almost overly slow pace.
