SUNSET BOULEVARD (Curve Theatre, Leicester)****

Available until: Livestreams at various times on 31st December and 2nd, 3rd, 4th and 5th January. The final livestream is on 4pm on Tuesday 5th.

I haven’t seen Sunset Boulevard before and I was always under the impression it was a cold and nasty play about people who were out for themselves and didn’t care about anyone else.

It probably could be performed in that way but that wasn’t the case in this performance. I actually found it a very moving performance and different forms of love seem to be really important. There’s also a lot of tragedy in this play. If there is any coldness and nastiness in this musical, it comes from the world of theatre (not that it’s always like that) rather than the characters who all seem like victims of the theatre in different ways.
