Mini Review 10- Lear 1864: Trail of Tears

It's never easy to take one of Shakespeare's plays and "modernise" it, but this American Civil war adaptation of King Lear managed it perfectly, it felt like the play had been written with this setting in mind. The southern american accents made the language easier to grasp, and the use of two Lear's was fantastic. All in all a brillain adapation.

Mini Review 9- Avenue q

It may not be high brow, or serious, intellectually challenging or considered equal to "proper" theatre by many, but there is a reason musical theatre is as popular as it is; it's sweet, lovelable, funny, endearing, escapist, comforting and contains an entire spectrum of emotion, which is easily accessible to an audience. There is nothing that produces catharsis quite like a good musical, and avenue q is one of the best.
