“What has always elevated Shawshank above a straightforward prison drama is its emotional restraint, and in a theatre setting that really lands. Stripped of its cinematic spectacle, it relies entirely on atmosphere, performance and connection. And that’s the real achievement of this adaptation.”

Read our review of Shawshank Redemption, at the The Alexandra until Saturday May 30th:

The Shawshank Redemption at The Alexandra remains a timeless story that still resonates deeply with audience.

“To Kill A Mockingbird at Birmingham Hippodrome leans into the ugliness of the time – the cruelty, the entrenched racism and language that lands with a jolt in a modern theatre. The derogatory terms are not softened or skirted around; they sit heavily in the air, forcing us to confront not just the history, but the echoes of it. It’s uncomfortable, deliberately so, and all the more powerful for it.”

Aaron Sorkin’s To Kill a Mockingbird at Birmingham Hippodrome is an unflinching adaptation that confronts racial injustice.

“In a time that can feel relentlessly heavy, this production is exactly what’s needed right now. It’s b***y without being superficial and escapist without being empty. Unapologetically camp, it’s one big, fabulous, glitter-filled hug. Priscilla doesn’t just invite you to have a good time, it insists on it.”
