Yes, you really can go Globe-trotting again! PATRICK MARMION reviews A Midsummer Night's Dream
Daily MailA Midsummer Night's Dream Rating: Verdict: The Bard is back Shaw Shorts Rating: Verdict: Cheaters never prosper We can only admire the way that Shakespeare brushes off pandemic shutdowns like crumbs from his doublet. She's an unhappy hacker A Russian Doll Rating: Verdict: Crime and caviar The play, which is based on a true story, follows twenty-something Masha as she becomes embroiled in the world of data and deceit as a member of Russia's disinformation campaigns during the EU referendum Cirencester's Barn Theatre had a great lockdown online, and is following that with a fascinating, disturbing monologue about Russian mind control on social media. Glyndebourne's Turkish Delight Il Turco In Italia & Katya Kabanova Rating: Rating: Verdict: One bull's-eye, one miss A superb cast provides vocal thrills and comedic spills. Argentinian bass Nahuel Di Pierro as the Turk and Russian baritone Rodion Pogossov as Don Geronio, whom he tries to cuckold, are worthy adversaries The new Glyndebourne season is a story of two directors: one makes a tricky Rossini comedy into a triumph, the other turns a usually surefire Janacek tragedy into a turgid procession of pretentious clichés.
