A sinister night. Evil and edge in the air. What are they
celebrating? Clytemnestra's world is torn apart when Agamemnon
sacrifices their daughter for the sake of war. Ten years later, the
couple are reunited. What follows is a dangerous battle fuelled by
love, grief and power. Marina Carr's adaptation of the infamous
Greek myth brings Clytemnestra's story to the fore and asks if it
is possible to forgive the unforgivable. He turns to me in hall one
evening, wine on him, sentimental. There is nothing I would not do
to have your good opinion again, he says. Girl on an Altar opened
at the Kiln Theatre, London, in May 2022.

Impressionist Alistair McGowan debuts his first play Timing at the
Kings Head Theatre starting from the 30th September, starring Dean
Gaffney (Robbie from Eastenders) and regular theatre star Edward
Baker-Duly. It seems that McGowan, famed by his sketch show Big
Impression on the BBC has decided to return to the theatre after
his work in Cabaret (Lyric Theatre), Little Shop of Horrors (New
Ambassadors Theatre) and The Mikado (Gielgud Theatre) but this time
as a playwright. Teaming up with director Tamara Harvey, Timing is
all about a young guy called Julian Mann (Baker-Duly) who sets off
to work one morning only to find his ex-girlfriend of 5 years is at
his workplace, but the complication arises in that they have not
spoken since the break-up in which she broke his heart. It is set
to go on until 8th November, and if McGowan's previous work is
anything to go by it should be a comic hit. It should also be
interesting to see how the comedian tackles more serious topics as
well. --Review from spoonfed.co.uk

This is the Medea we have been waiting for. It offers clarity
without banality, eloquence without pretension, meter without
doggerel, accuracy without clumsiness. No English Medea can ever be
Euripides', but this is as close as anyone has come so far, and a
good deal closer than I thought anyone would ever come. Arnson
Svarlien has shown herself exceedingly skillful in making Euripides
sound Euripidean.--David M. Schaps, Bryn Mawr Classical Review
Bonfire night 2019, Sheila, Denise, Julie, and Fay are Team C in
