Film review: Greed

Despite the censoring, Greed gets its message across, and leaves you thinking about it a long time after you walk out of the cinema - food for thought indeed.

Upstart Crow: 'The Green-Eyed Monster' - the facts

Each episode has a theme, usually revolving around one of Will's plays, and in this series of articles our aim is to give a little more background to those and the Upstart Crow story line surrounding it, together with the facts, deliberate anachronisms, and the characters involved.

David Mitchell steals the show in the Upstart Crow

Less highbrow than The Globe, less lowbrow than a panto, the Upstart Crow is without a doubt one of this year's top productions.

London theatre review: The Upstart Crow

This is a marvellous mash-up of the scholarly and totally ridiculous, performed by some of Britain's finest comedians and comedy actors.

Jack Hudson, London Theatre Direct, 21st February 2020
