    London’s Riverside presents this play exploring new parenthood through the lens of an atypical household.

    Following the success of its original Broadway run, London’s Royal Court presents Kimberly Belflower’s modern exploration of Arthur Miller’s classic.

    London’s King’s Head Theatre presents this historical play depicting the conflict between Rupert Murdoch and the printers’ unions. Guillermo Nazara shares his views on the show to let us know if its execution is anywhere near ink-credible. I’m no fan of Rupert Murdoch. I don’t think anyone who’s been educated by The Simpsons is.
