Theatre

I am currently the New York Review of Books‘ resident London theatre critic, and I write a monthly column on theatre issues for The Stage. Previously, I was a freelance junior critic for The Times newspaper in London, reviewing for the paper about twice a week. I got my start as the theatre critic for The Spectator magazine’s online content, after spending most of my teenage years queuing outside every fringe theatre in London. I am a member of the Critics’ Circle and I have previously contributed London reviews to the Wall Street Journal.

I also maintain an active interest in arts philanthropy. I can date the moment I fell in love with theatre to a Joanna Laurens production at the Gate Theatre, W11. Consequently, I have recently founded a Young Supporters’ Network at the Gate and sit on their Development Working Group, which means that this is the only venue at which I exclude myself from reviewing.
