CORIOLANUS: episode 5 of the GERRYSTORM podcast

9th April 2021 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Coriolanus in the streets, Aufidius in the sheets. That’s our decision and we’re sticking to it. Fascinating, cultured, and sometimes a little too scratchy — me, and also my Gerrystorm podcast episode on CORIOLANUS.  This is episode 5, and while my guest Paula and I have gone all Shakespearean I can assure you there isn’t… CORIOLANUS: episode 5 of the GERRYSTORM podcast Read More

*** Read my interview with All Is True’s Oscar-winning costume designer Michael O’Connor *** As all married women heading into their dotage know, if there’s one thing a just-retired husband needs it’s a hobby – and luckily William Shakespeare, newly returned to the rather chilly bosom of his family in Stratford Upon Avon, has his… All Is True Read More

A Caribbean Dream 4 stars☆☆☆☆☆

6th February 2018 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

“Mystery and magic… true love is tested” says a man playing music in a forest, perfectly summing up what follows, while a cockerel rests on his head. This is A Caribbean Dream, Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night re-imagined in Barbados, with a diverse cast and a setting far more enticing than any outdoor performance I’ve sat through… A Caribbean Dream Read More

24th April 2017 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Lady Macbeth schemes to propel her husband towards the Scottish throne but even as the chain of events she set in motion moves bloodily forward it’s hard not to feel sympathy for her; especially as she speaks to and weeps over a hallucination of her dead toddler with the heartbreaking “wash your hands, put on your nightgown, look… Macbeth (2015) Read More

Coriolanus 5 stars☆☆☆☆☆

18th September 2016 by Sarah Cartland Leave a Comment

Aufidius was starting to think the offer of a gamer of Laserquest and a cheeky Nando's had been a cruel trick

When it comes to Shakespeare, I sometimes feel that over the years I’ve seen the good, the bad and the ugly, on stage and screen. Shakespeare done well lifts you up with its sheer brilliance, but I’ve also sat through far too much lazy thigh slapping, hey nonny nonnies and unlikely mix-ups involving twins. And who can… Coriolanus Read More
