Emma was having the time of her life. Now she’s in rehab. Her first step is to admit that she has a problem. But the problem isn’t with Emma, it’s with everything else. She needs to tell the truth. But she’s smart enough to know that there’s no such thing. When intoxication feels like the only way to survive the modern world, how can she ever sober up?

Review Roundup: What are the critics saying about People, Places and Things?
The Olivier award winning production has returned to the West End for it’s third stint in the capital! Opening at the National Theatre nine years ago, the pulse-pounding production was an instant hit, receiving a host of 5-star reviews, in addition to a Critics’ Circle Theatre and Olivier award for its star Denise Gough. Following a sold-out transfer to Wyndham’s Theatre, the show then went to Broadway where it received six Drama Desk Awards nominations. The New York Times praised it’s leading lady, saying ‘Denise Gough makes a spectacular New York stage debut conveying the character’s colossal degradation and silverfish cunning.’ But how does the latest run of Duncan Macmillan’s play fair?

Spotlight on Denise Gough
After seven years, Denise Gough makes her long awaited return to the West End stage!
The Olivier award winning actress made her debut exactly two decades ago, starring alongside Oscar winner Holly Hunter in By the Bog of Cats at London’s Wyndham’s Theatre. Twenty years later the critically acclaimed Irish actor has picked up a hefty collection of awards herself, and has become a certified star of stage and screen.
This spring will mark Gough’s fourth stint in People, Places and Things, checking in to her ‘career changing’ role for a strictly limited 14 week run at Trafalgar Theatre. Her highly praised central performance as Emma was hailed ‘explosive and fearless’ ‘awe-inspiring’ and ‘powerful, provocative, thrilling’ by the critics during the inaugural run back in 2015.
This may be the fourth incarnation of her award-winning role, but she is anything but a one trick pony. Her performances outside of the rehab have earned her an Olivier award and Tony nomination, and have seen her portray a sultry science teacher, a grief-stricken twin and a crossdressing 19th century French aristocrat! Here are just some of our favourite roles.

Review: A Five Star Run At The Wyndham's Theatre For People, Places & Things
People, Places & Things is another successful west end transfer from the ever brilliant National Theatre. The play had a sell out run at the Dorfman Theatre in the South Bank complex and is now enjoying a five star run at the Wyndham’s Theatre.

White walls. Bright lights. Short sentences. When Does "Stylistic" Become Self-Indulgent?
“Stylistic” is a word used to describe, seemingly, most shows at the moment. But is it necessarily a good thing? I love seeing shows with a unique style but, sometimes, “stylistic” comes across as little more than self-indulgent. I mean, how many shows use the “unique” idea of invasive, bright lighting, and abstract perspectives?

Review: People, Places & Things At The Wyndham's Theatre
People, Places & Things, playing at the Wyndham's Theatre until the 4th June 2016, is a stylistic, flawlessly-performed production that exceeded my expectations. Whilst fairly intense, a well-balanced touch of humour stopped the show from being overbearing, creating an overall enjoyable piece of theatre.

In Praise Of... Unreserved Seating
I am aware some will look at this headline with confusion, maybe even repulsion but I can explain. Unreserved seating isn’t just about spoiling your pre-theatre bar time but about a fair ticketing system that allows friends to book separately and the over organised (or those with the sharpest elbows) to triumph. I look at the many pros, the occasional con that is unreserved seating.
