Description
<p>This week is French translation week as Nick, Nancy and Tim took refuge in the blissful air conditioning of London's theatres to review <em>The Misanthrope</em> at the National — Martin Crimp's rhyming-couplet update of the Molière play with Sandra Oh on ferocious form — and <em>The Truth</em> at the Apollo, Florian Zeller's gleefully French sex comedy starring Stephen Mangan, Janie Dee, Ardal O'Hanlan and Sarah Hadland. Plus Nick spoke to playwright Rajiv Joseph about <em>Archduke</em> at the Royal Court and working with Robin Williams. And Desmonda Cathabel answered our five questions ahead of playing Mary Magdalene in <em>Jesus Christ Superstar. </em></p><br><p>Follow us on Instagram and watch us on YouTube @thelondontheatrereview.</p><p><br></p><hr><p style='color:grey; font-size:0.75em;'> Hosted on Acast.
