The Review - THEATRE
Published: 20 March 2008

In the wings

• FRANKENSTEIN’S singing voice, so often tragically overlooked, gets the cobwebs dusted off at the Cochrane Theatre from next Wednesday. The full-length gothic horror musical is the creature of the Youth Music Theatre (YMT: UK), adapted and directed by Nick Stimson, from the Mary Shelley original.
It runs until March 29.

• THE trials and tribulations of growing up – from grief to love – are explored in a frank and provocative new play at the Young Actors Theatre. Burying your Brother in the Pavement, produced in conjunction with the National Theatre and the Arcola, features a talented young cast under the peerless guidance of industry professionals.
From March 26 to 29.

• VLADIMIR and Estragon, the two flawed specimens of Beckett’s modern masterpiece, are waiting for a man called Godot and pondering the profundities of life in the meantime. For the uninitiated, or for those already old friends of Pozzo and Lucky, the Bridewell Theatre should be the destination of choice from next Tuesday.
The play, directed by Robert Pennant-Jones, is on until March 29

• MORE than a century after it was written, Chekhov’s magnum opus still asks pertinent, necessary questions about social standing and the search for meaning in the modern world.
Three Sisters follows the Moscow siblings dreaming of their return home but growing ever further removed from it as the Russian upper classes crumble.
Act Provocateur’s Dumle Kogbara directs at the Lion and Unicorn until April 6.
