Patient No 1, York Theatre Royal, May 2008
by
Kate Lock
on Tue 20 May 2008 23:28 BST
First published on BBC North Yorkshire's website:
There is a Doonesbury cartoon that suggests a reason why President George W Bush originally threatened to veto Senator (now Republican candidate) John McCain’s Anti-Torture Amendment back in 2005. It has to do with red-hot coat hangers and frat boys’ buttocks. more »

REVIEW: UNCLE VANYA, YORK THEATRE ROYAL (4-8 MARCH)
by
Kate Lock
on Sun 09 Mar 2008 23:22 GMT
First published on BBC North Yorkshire's website:
‘Chekhov . . .’ mused my companion before curtain up at Uncle Vanya, the English Touring Theatre production playing at the Theatre Royal until Saturday. ‘Isn’t he all gloom and doom?’ Clearly, he wasn’t anticipating a fun evening. more »

AMY’S VIEW, YORK THEATRE ROYAL (Studio), until 1 March
by
Kate Lock
on Sat 01 Mar 2008 23:24 GMT
First published on BBC North Yorkshire's website:
Theatre is dead, declares David Hare’s antagonist, media-savvy Dominic, in Amy’s View. According to the ambitious Dominic, the slick, fast-moving, action-filled medium of television represents the cutting edge and every week he flushes art down the toilet on his TV show to prove it. more »

REVIEW: WAITING FOR GODOT YORK THEATRE ROYAL, 14, 15 & 16 FEBRUARY 2008-02-13
by
Kate Lock
on Sun 17 Feb 2008 23:19 GMT
First published on BBC North Yorkshire website
Estragon and Vladimir, the two tramps in Samuel Beckett’s Waiting for Godot, might or might not be a Vaudeville double act fallen on hard times. The bowlers and banter suggest Laurel and Hardy; the clowning, Chaplin and Keaton, the boots, panto laced liberally with Dali. more »

Brassed Off, Joseph Rowntree Theatre, York, 22-27 October 2007-10-22 Review

First published on BBC North Yorkshire's website:
The Shepherd Group Brass Band is York’s ‘premier league’ brass band. When they play The Floral Dance, the hairs stand up on your arm. The first-night audience at Brassed Off were still applauding the band’s opening number when conductor Danny (Ivan Chaplin) turned round and told them it was ‘crap’. It so patently wasn’t that everyone started laughing. more »

Grimethorpe Colliery Band, Grand Opera House Sunday 15 July

Kate Lock
on Wed 18 Jul 2007 23:26 BST
irst published in The Press, July 2007
As a rookie brass band player, this reviewer has had the message hammered home on numerous occasions, ‘You’ve got to be good to play quietly’. Listening to the Grimethorpe Colliery Band go from the furious-and-glorious raise-the-roof volume of Shostakovich’s Festive Overture to a sound so soft it was almost a whisper in Arnold’s Scottish Dances, it was clear just how very good Grimethorpe Colliery Band is. more »

Kate Lock
on Tue 15 May 2007 23:11 BST
It’s been 11 years since the York Mystery Plays were staged at the Theatre Royal and now they’re back, albeit as noises off, in The York Realist.
It’s the 1963 Mystery Plays, rather than the 1996 ones, that form the background to this not-so-everyday story of country folk, more »
