The Duchess [of Malfi]
★★★★☆ Necessarily nightmarish:
The blood-soaked events of The Duchess [of Malfi], a co-production between the Lyceum and the Citizens Theatre, are almost unwatchably intense at times. As a depiction of timeless and timely considerations, however, this production is hard to beat.

Local Hero
★★★☆☆ Charming:
Local Hero, the Lyceum’s co-production with the Old Vic, has the authenticity and drive one would expect considering the source material, but fails to add much that is new.

Touching The Void
★★★★☆ Viscerally convincing:
There is a depth and grit to Touching The Void at the Lyceum that threatens to carry all before it.
