    Review of ‘Private Lives’: “It’s a pity I didn’t have more brandy”

    Noel Coward’s timeless comedy returns to London in a lavish limited-running production starring Nigel Havers and Patricia Hodge. Guillermo Nazara gives us a sibyl-quibble about the play, to let us know if his attendance was either an exciting experience or, instead, as flat as Norfolk. We had heaps really, only they slip away into the…

    Review of ‘The Wagatha Christie Trial’: “A b*tch-slap turn-on”

    The gossip and bickering jump from the small screen to the big scene in this spoofy (though unbelievably realistic) recount of the tabloids’ favourite trial.

    Some need labels, others just need escape from them. Gay, straight, bi or whatever. Do we really need those words to describe how we feel? Or is it avoiding them just a way to flee reality?

    Algunos necesitan etiquetas, otros sencillamente escapar de ellas. Gay, hetero, bi o lo que sea. ¿Realmente necesitamos esas palabras para describir cómo nos sentimos? ¿O evitarlas es simplemente un modo de huir de la realidad?
