Does going to a matinee of The Forsyte Saga betray my age? Maybe so, but it’s a cracking production: wonderful cast, brilliant storytelling, fluently staged, utterly gripping.

What thoughtful analysis from a fabulous panel on the challenge and value of reviving post-war plays such as Look Back in Anger and Roots. There's still a chance to see these two intelligent revivals @AlmeidaTheatre

What an impressive and important play this is. Hansberry was only 29 when she wrote it in 1959, and it still packs a timely punch in its universal portrait of hopes and dreams and the terrible prejudices of poverty and race. @LyricHammer @TinuCraig
