Type de série: RevivalThéâtre: Duke of Yorks Theatre (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 3 mois Nombre : Première Preview : Wednesday 05 October 2016Première : Thursday 13 October 2016Dernière : Saturday 14 January 2017Mise en scène : Sean Foley • Chorégraphie : Producteur : Avec : Ken Stott, Reece Shearsmith, Selena Cadell et Harriet ThorpeCommentaires : Ken Stott and Reece Shearsmith come together as lead actor “Sir” and Norman “the dresser” in this eagerly awaited revival of “a wonderfully affectionate and intelligent play about the theatre” The Guardian.Presse : "Sean Foley’s production settles too. It starts by looking nervously for slamming-door farce. It moves into boldly projecting Harwood’s very funny chaos scenes." Susannah Clapp for The Guardian
"But even in the bittier sections and sketchier characters, the evening is an authentic-feeling pleasure." Dominic Cavendish The Telegraph
"Sean Foley’s somewhat lacklustre production doesn’t make a convincing case for a West End revival in 2016. Even so, this remains an indestructibly watchable play." Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard

I Can't Sing! The X Factor Musical (2014-03-Palladium Theatre-London)

Les réservations étaient ouvertes jusqu'au 25 aoctobre 2014, mais le musical a fermé anticipativement le 10 mai 2014, 1 mois et demi après l'ouverture!Presse : "Cowell’s decision to back a musical that sends him up so mercilessly – there is an astonishing final reveal about his true nature – either suggests he is less awful than he appears, or that he will go along with anything just so long as it makes him more money." Charles Spencer for The Telegraph
"I'm not saying “I Can't Kvetch!” because there are all kinds of niggles and caveats – not least that the whole venture feels more than a tad belated. But there is a bonkers, surreal charm to the loopy lampooning..." Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Although it has flashes of wit, Harry Hill and Steve Brown's show doesn't know whether it wants to excoriate The X Factor or boost its TV ratings." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Harry Hill's brilliant X Factor lampoon backed by Simon Cowell himself cleverly engages with popular culture without taking the audience for fools." Simon Edge for The Daily Express

"
Charles Spencer for Daily Telegraph
"Knockabout prod"
Paul Taylor for The Independent
"It's an evening that reveals more of Wodehouse's gift for farce than of his matchless verbal felicity."
Michael Billington for The Guardian
"This unapologetically frivolous show should entertain those who have never been exposed to Wodehouse, and devotees will lap it up."
Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard

Just the sight of the crooked, dottily eccentric house occupied by the sweet and unsuspecting Mrs Wilberforce raises a smile." Charles Spencer for The Telegraph
"A very different animal from the 1955 movie; and, while it may lack the Ealing touch, it works very well as a slapstick farce.." Michael Billington for The Guardian
"Affectionate yet brightly original adaptation of a classic Ealing comedy dating from 1955." Henry Hitchings for The Evening Standard
"This inspired adaptation that converts the proceedings into a hilarious send-up of loony, slapstick farce." Paul Taylor for The Independent
Version 8
Ladykillers (The) (2013-06-Vaudeville Theatre-London)
Type de série: RevivalThéâtre: Vaudeville Theatre (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 4 mois 1 semaine Nombre : Première Preview : Saturday 29 June 2013Première : Tuesday 09 July 2013Dernière : Saturday 16 November 2013Mise en scène : Sean Foley • Chorégraphie : Producteur : Avec : Ralf Little (Harry), Simon Day (Major Courtney), Angela Thorne (Mrs Wilberforce), John Gordon Sinclair (Professor Marcus), Con O’Neill (Louis), Chris McCalphy (One Round)Presse : "The great thing about the film is that it is at times genuinely chilling as well as hilarious, and the one loss in Sean Foley’s hugely enjoyable stage production, which has just begun a second run in the West End following a national tour, is that it never quite matches the creepiness of the original. I would venture to suggest, however, that it is even funnier than the movie."
Charles Spencer for The Daily Telegraph
"It's all perfectly amiable, but the production needs more spit and polish if it is to recapture its original zest."
Michael Billington for The Guardian
"To see the show a second time is to marvel anew at the inspired way Linehan takes the ingenious premise of William Rose's original screenplay and converts it into an opportunity for uproarious slapstick stage farce, fizzing with entirely fresh gags."
Paul Taylor for The Independent
"Entertained for a couple of hours."
Fiona Mountford for The Evening Standard

Upstart Crow
Type de série: OriginalThéâtre: Gielgud Theatre (Londres - Angleterre) Durée : 2 mois Nombre : Première Preview : Friday 07 February 2020Première : Tuesday 18 February 2020Dernière : Saturday 25 April 2020Mise en scène : Sean Foley • Chorégraphie : Producteur : Avec : David Mitchell (Shakespeare), Gemma Whelan, Helen Monks (Susanna), Rob Rouse (Bottom), Steve Speirs (Burbage), Mark Heap (Dr John Hall), Danielle Phillips, Jason Calldender, Rachel Summers.Commentaires : David Mitchell stars as the Bard himself in a brand new stage adaptation of his hilarious historical TV sitcom Upstart Crow, set to open at the Gielgud Theatre in February 2020.
Written by Ben Elton, known for penning TV series such as The Young Ones and Blackadder as well as musicals We Will Rock You and Love Never Dies, the series first aired in 2016 as part of the commemorations for 400 years since William Shakespeare’s death. The show follows the writing and preparations of the premiere of Romeo and Juliet in 1592, with each episode alluding in some way to a Shakespeare play.
Mitchell will reprise his role in the show on stage as he plays Shakespeare alongside Gemma Whelan, who also reprises her role from the series as Kate, the daughter of Shakespeare’s landlord who wants to become an actor.
The stage adaptation of the TV show will be set in 1605, a point in time where Shakespeare had only written All’s Well That Ends Well and Measure for Measure, leaving Britain’s greatest playwright in need of a hit. But as he battles his personal life to put pen to paper, can he fulfil his potential?
