Yes, I know I’ve already written one review today, but I needed cheering up. It didn’t work or anything, but I want to review it and if anyone tries to stop me, they’ll soon wish they hadn’t. I’m just not worth the stress.
Earlier in lockdown, Barn Theatre, the Lawrence Batley Theatre and New Wolsey Theatre did a
play/film together called What a Carve Up!. Luckily, the public saw its
brilliance, and its success meant that the theatres decided to team up again
for a new project, only this time they let the Oxford Playhouse and Theatr
Clwyd in on it. Which makes it a proper international production, but it did
confuse me, going to the theatre websites and seeing that every theatre in
existence had decided to do Dorian Gray all at the same time. It was
like A Christmas Carol all over again, only without the turkey. It was
only once they all started showing identical images for their productions that
I realised the whole world hadn’t gone Wilde.
