The Flick play comes to London’s Dorfman Theatre and it’s brilliant

April 21, 2016

A man stands under harsh fluorescent strip-lights, slowly – painfully slowly – mopping the floor. We watch for what seems like hours as he squeezes out his mop, slides it dully across the ground and repeats, interminably. There's no wink towards the audience, no suggestion that some comic reward is about to follow. It never does. The Flick, [...]
The best new Android handsets 2016, from LG, Huawei and HTC

April 20, 2016

Here's the lowdown on which Android phone to pick up right now this very second… Go. HTC 10 The HTC 10 isn’t the thinnest or lightest Android on the market. But it’s a loveable little chunkster with reassuringly expensive heft and a rounded and outrageously chamfered backside that fits nicely in the palm. It’s an [...]
Drone racing: fast, furious and invisible to the human eye

April 20, 2016

Last Wednesday, in front of an audience of literally dozens of tech journalists, Wembley Stadium played host to its inaugural drone race, organised by 4G telecoms giant EE and computer-chip wizards Qualcomm. Four tiny and remote controlled quadcopter drones zipped around the arena’s cavernous stands, piloted by an international squad of competing pilots, each deftly navigating [...]
The Woodford review: Fine dining hits TOWIE country

April 19, 2016

Food | ★★★★☆ Value | ★★★☆☆ Atmosphere | ★★★★★ 159 High Rd, London E18 2PA Tel: 020 8504 5952 I’m going to open a restaurant. It’s going to be just outside the North Circular – not technically in Essex, but close enough that people from central London will sneer – in a former nightclub that was shut down [...]
The Suicide at The National Theatre is a chaotic disappointment

April 15, 2016

Lyttelton Theatre | ★★☆☆☆ This update of a Stalin-era Russian satire veers between chaotic hilarity and ill-judged mean-spiritedness, reaches occasional soaring highs only to plumb depths the likes of which are rarely seen at the National Theatre. Over the two and a half hour run time, the enjoyable moments are far outweighed by the relentless procession [...]

Boy at the Almeida review: a flawed portrait of listlessness and poverty

April 14, 2016

Almeida | ★★★☆☆ Boy takes place on a winding conveyor belt, with actors and props spinning before the audience like dishes at an especially dour branch of Yo Sushi. What starts out as a sexual health clinic becomes a bus stop then a housing estate then a park then a street outside a nightclub. Often [...]
Is the V&A’s Undressed: A Brief History of Underwear wunderbra or a load of pants?

April 14, 2016

V&A | ★★☆☆☆ After the blockbuster success of David Bowie Is and Alexander McQueen: Savage Beauty, the V&A returns with another exhibition that’s sure to draw in the punters. Because it’s about underwear and includes the word “undressed”. But while the title hints towards something a little salacious, the delivery is an exhaustive, often dry, slightly repetitive [...]
Tate Britain’s Conceptual Art in Britain 1964-1979 is worthwhile if you’re prepared to work for it

April 14, 2016

Tate Britain | ★★★☆☆ When you enter this exhibition, you’ll see a pyramid of oranges stacked up in front of you, giving the gallery a pleasant citrusy aroma. Go over and pick one up – this is allowed – and hold it in your hand for the rest of the time you’re there. You’ll want to [...]
