  • Theatre review: Not About Heroes at Trafalgar Studios

    November 14, 2014

    Trafalgar Studios 2 | ★★★★☆ In a life otherwise blighted by misfortune, Wilfred Owen had one show-stopping moment of luck. When forced to take leave from the front line because of shell-shock in 1917, he happened to be referred to Craiglockhart War Hospital at the same time that established celebrity poet Siegfried Sassoon was interned there. [...]

  • Would a Miami porn baron hang an Allen Jones painting in his sex dungeon?

    November 14, 2014

    Royal Academy★★☆☆☆  If tragedy plus time equals comedy, what does sexism plus time equal – satire? Mainstream acceptability? This has been the strange fate of Allen Jones, an artist whose work once prompted the hurling of smoke bombs outside the ICA, but who now gets a genteel Royal Academy retrospective without even a hint of [...]

  • Film review: The Imitation Game proves genius Alan Turing is a hard one to crack

    November 13, 2014

    ★★★☆☆ Cert 12a    A riddle, wrapped in a mystery, placed inside an enigma, bound with leather and slotted carefully onto a mahogany book case. That’s what Alan Turing biopic The Imitation Game feels like. For all the wonders of its subject’s mind, the film itself is a staid and conventional affair, with more quality [...]

  • World War Two technologies: From Alan Turing’s code-breaking Enigma machine to Robert Oppenheimer’s Manhattan Project

    November 10, 2014

      Necessity, they say, is the mother of invention, and it’s hard to think of a time when a society is under more pressure than during a war. It should come as no surprise, then, that many of the every-day technologies we take for granted were developed during periods of global conflict. From the radar [...]

  • Theatre review: Made in Dagenham starring Gemma Arterton

    November 7, 2014

    ★★☆☆☆ Adelphi Theatre     If you ever wondered why Carry On Camping, Carry On Up the Nile and Carry On Up The Jungle were never followed by Carry On Second Wave Feminism, or Carry On Women’s Liberation, then watch Made in Dagenham, a new musical in which slap, tickle and gender politics make uneasy [...]

  • Lord Mayor’s Show 2014 route: Where to watch the procession in the City of London

    November 6, 2014

      With gleaming skyscrapers home to the world’s leading corporations, it can be easy to forget that the City of London is rooted in centuries of tradition. That tradition will be on full display again this weekend during the 799th Lord Mayor’s Show. The event, which has endured Black Death, Blitz and Great Fire, is [...]

  • Studio Harcourt Paris’s photographs are coming to London: From Jean Paul Gaultier and John Galliano to Ingrid Bergman and Marlene Dietrich

    November 4, 2014

      Despite the countless imitators, nothing comes close to the real thing. The dark, smoky glamour, the halo of light, the coquettish half smile that looks both effortlessly natural and made for the stage. The European equivalent of a star on Hollywood boulevard, in the 30s and 40s, a portrait at Studio Harcourt Paris meant [...]

  • Ash London’s Amanda Ibgui and Sharon Elalouf bring the French interior design Touch to the City

    October 30, 2014

      Imagine how Sharon Elalouf and Amanda Ibgui felt arriving in London from their native Paris on a rainy day in 2006. Not only did they have to contend with English food and English weather, the pair also came up against English interior design. Enthusiastic devotees of modern French style (which for them means clean [...]

  • Pop idol: British artist Allen Jones receives an overdue Royal Academy retrospective

    October 28, 2014

      While Andy Warhol was throwing wild parties in The Factory on East 47th Street, another of pop art’s leading lights was plying his trade in an altogether less glamorous corner of the world. In 1961, Southampton-born Allen Jones took up a teaching position at Croydon College of Art after being expelled from the Royal [...]

  • Sohei Nishino’s dazzling Diorama Maps return to the Michael Hoppen Gallery

    October 28, 2014

      The ancient art of map-making is hardly an art at all; minute precision and scientific attention to detail are the sacred virtues of the cartographer. But imagine a map of a different kind, one that reveals not the brute fact of a city’s physical landscape but the energy of its bustling streets. These are [...]
