Directed and designed by Matthew Bissett for United Players, The School for Scandal is one of the handsomest productions mounted at the Jericho Arts Centre and it proves once again: less is often more.

Sometimes a play comes along and I have no idea whom it’s for: kids, young adults, grownups or boomers. Mr. Marmalade is one of these. It’s billed as a dark comedy but it’s far too sad to be funny.

The Normal Heart is an awkward play probably because the intended hero – the playwright himself – is both heroic and anti-heroic. But it is undeniably faithful to the period fraught as it was with panic and pain.

If I were Irish I would either hate The Cripple of Inishmaan because it feeds into so many clichés or I would love it because it feeds into so many clichés.

Is it legal to be as multi-talented as Jocelyn Gauthier? She can sing, she can dance and she’s got moves that keep you watching her every second. Try to tear your eyes off her: it’s possible, but not for long.

Usually I’m not concerned about whether a play attributed to Shakespeare was actually written by Shakespeare. Cymbeline, however, does make one wonder. “A tragedy gone right” is how some have described it – although all that’s tragic about it is its potential for things to go wrong. But they don’t; they go very, very right.
