Before we announce the winners of the 2015 MyTheatre Awards, we’re proud to present our annual Nominee Interview Series. In the western canon’s most legendary role, the incredibly versatile Scott Walker delivered a true Outstanding Actor turn in Hamlet marked by clarity of purpose and grounded character psychology. We talked to the Unit 102 standout about taking […]
Probably Shakespeare’s most famous comedy, there is undoubtedly going to be added pressure to present something new when performing A Midsummer Night’s Dream, and that is certainly what we get with Filter Theatre’s production at the Lyric Hammersmith. A total farce from start to finish, this zany show is a wonderful comedy fest that successfully […]
