Review: The Philanthropist

A combination of bad casting and lacklustre directing from Simon Callow leads to an ultimately disappointing evening; the greatest act of philanthropy would be to scrap it and start again.

Review: The Philanthropist

So as a period piece, it rang true; and Bird's and Cole's performances in particular left me convinced and rather sorrowful.

Review: The Philanthropist

The Philanthropist isn't a bad show. There are some very funny moments and the concept of the piece is an interesting one. Definitely worth going to see if you like the sound of it.
