Remember the issues pulsing through 1990s Britain at this exhibition of Donald Rodney’s artArtWhitechapelUntil 4 May 2025Donald Rodney, In the House of My Father, 1997, Image © The Donald Rodney Estate In his far too short career, Donald Rodney (1961-1998) created an incredibly varied body of work, using a huge breadth of mediums to confront the prejudices that course through British society. The works here tackle themes of racial identity, chronic illness and colonial history, and are a fascinating window into the issues that mattered in 1990s Britain, and still resonate today.Read moreAdvertising3. Get reacquainted with Bridget Jones in new film ‘Mad About the Boy’FilmComedy4 out of 5 starsRecommendedPhotograph: Universal Pictures ‘Fourquels’ are usually where film franchises start to flirt with rock bottom, so it’s a joy to report that Mad About the Boy is comfortably the best Bridget Jones outing since Bridget Jones’s Diary. For Renée Zellweger’s still klutzy but now wiser Bridge, living in cosy Hampstead, the singleton Borough era is a distant memory. Ciggies and Chardonnay have been dispensed with replaced with a big dose of lingering grief for lawyer Mark Darcy (Colin Firth). It says everything for the script (co-written by Helen Fielding, Dan Mazer and Abi Morgan) that even Daniel Cleaver, now entering his own Jurassic era and a bit sad about it, gets an affecting arc here. The plot will surprise no one, but it barely matters – this is Bridget’s journey of rediscovery.Read review4. Watch Coral Wylie’s excellent debut about a lonely teenager taking refuge in his parent’s pastDramaShepherd’s BushUntil 22 Mar 20254 out of 5 starsRecommendedPhoto: Helen Murray In Coral Wylie’s nature-driven debut Pip – also played by Wylie – is a non-binary 19-year-old trying to make sense of themselves and their world. To do this, they keep a diary. Pip’s parents prefer to keep their worries as ungerminated seeds. Twenty years ago, Pip’s father lost his best friend Duncan to AIDS and has tried his best to bury Duncan’s existence. Pip discovers one of Duncan’s old jackets with an old diary stuffed inside the pocket. Almost immediately they feel an affinity with their parents’ old friend. The past starts to overflow like running water. It’s beautiful and touching – a play that shows the wonder of friendship. Read reviewBuy ticketAdvertising5.

Eat semi-pagan British fare at the latest kitchen takeover at The Compton ArmsBritishCanonburyprice 2 of 45 out of 5 starsRecommendedLily Haddadi The latest chefs to take over the kitchen at Islington pub The Compton Arms are Rake; Jay Claus, Syrus Pickhaver and Peter Ward. Their menu is ruddy-faced British gentleman food, rethought for people who don’t own a cottage in the Cotswolds. Here, the spectre of St John is strong, with the likes of salsify and scotch broth, but rather than ostentatious ‘I-dare-you-to-eat-that’ whole beast butchery, Rake’s approach to meat is more earthy and pagan; said duck hearts come in a marvellously dank sauce which soaks into the crunchy toast. It’s a winning dish in a line-up of endless hits. Deep fried cockles on skewers are the perfect pub snack.

Don’t miss The Globe’s first ever Chekhov production – an enjoyably absurdist take on ‘Three Sisters’DramaSouth BankUntil 19 Apr 20254 out of 5 starsRecommendedPhoto: Johan Persson Adaptor/translator Rory Mullarkey has created a novel take on Chekhov, recasting the titular trio of sisters as less fading, doomed aristocrats waiting to get crushed by the Russian Revolution, and more trapped in an absurdist pantomime. Caroline Steinbeis’s production makes the sisters feel like part of an automata, doomed to repeat their days over and over and over. What we see is the machine break down, as fraying interpersonal relationships cause their comfortably numb limbo of an existence to stop working.Read reviewBuy ticket12.

See Brie Larson make a UK stage debut in Daniel Fish’s bone-rattling punk rock take on SophoclesDramaCovent GardenUntil 12 Apr 20253 out of 5 starsRecommendedPhoto: Helen Murray Daniel Fish’s take on Sophocles’ Elektra is a curious mixture of chaotic randomness and underlying respect for the 2,500-year-old play. Marvel star Brie Larson puts in a very solid turn as the eponymous princess. We meet Elektra living a twilight existence, locked in a permanent state of impotent rage at her mother Klytannestra (Stockard Channing, acid) and her lover Aegisthus (Greg Hicks, hapless). Famously, they killed her father Agamemnon. Now Elektra wants them dead. Larson’s Elektra stomps about in a Bikini Kill t-shirt with a shaven head, trading sardonic quips with her mother. It’s a gratifyingly bone-ratting 75 minutes of punk rock theatre made with respect for the Ancient Greek tradition. Read reviewBuy ticketAdvertising15.

Say goodbye to Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton’s ‘Inside No. 9’ at their production ‘Stage/Fright’ComedyCharing Cross RoadUntil 5 Apr 20254 out of 5 starsRecommendedPhoto: Marc Brenner No matter what your thoughts on Reece Shearsmith and Steve Pemberton’s beloved BBC horror anthology series Inside No 9, Stage/Fright is a delight, with the duo at the peak of their powers. It dips into the TV show – the first half heavily revolves around the episode Bernie Clifford’s Dressing Room – but it is a rare spinoff that feels totally a thing of the theatre. That’s partly a result of the pair’s long-standing fascination with Grand Guignol, music hall, stand-up and other forms of stage entertainment. It’s a tribute to theatre and stage life in a broader sense. It’s a parting gift, a celebration of Inside No. 9 and its influences, the real wrap party.Read reviewBuy ticketAdvertising17.

See acclaimed writer-director Robert Icke’s first original play ‘Manhunt’DramaSloane Square28 Mar3 May 2025Image: Guy J SandersIf it’s still a little early to get a clear handle on David Byrne’s programming at the Royal Court – because new plays take years from commissioning to programing – then he’s certainly brought in a few big names you doubt would have found a berth under his predecessor Vicky Featherstone. If the headline grabber in his first year was Nicholas Hytner directing the excellent Giant, then the biggie from year two is clearly Robert Icke. The acclaimed writer-director’s Court debut sees him pen an original piece for the first time. Manhunt is a drama based upon the life and death of Raoul Moat, the Newcastle man who went on the run after murdering his ex-girlfriend’s new boyfriend in 2010, culminating in a manhunt with morbid and unexpected consequences.Read moreBuy ticketAdvertising9.
