4 d. ago Caught Stealing review – Darren Aronosky’s violent, chaotic and highly enjoyable crime flick

After Mother! and The Whale, Aronosky’s new movie centres on a washed-up alcoholic former baseball star’s encounters with a villainous underworldBaseball fans will see the pun straight away; I had to look it up. The non-batting runner, having only made it a certain way around the field, gets tagged out by a fielder trying to “steal”, or sneak up, on a base from the one behind. As far as the non-metaphorical meaning goes, no one in this movie is actually apprehended in the act of theft. But in a world where home runs are unavailable to most, the idea of cheekily trying for covert advantage and survival through quick wits is clear.Charlie Huston’s violent crime novel of the same name from 2004 has been adapted for the screen by the author, and Darren Aronofsky directs with gleeful energy, flair and a dark humour that straddles the mischief/malice borderline. Incredible to think that his last film was the solemn and inertly sententious body-image drama The Whale. This has more of the c...

6 d. ago Twelfth Night review – Lupita Nyong’o and Peter Dinklage anchor fun, if thin, production

Delacorte Theater, New YorkA slick, starry cast, also including Sandra Oh and Jesse Tyler Ferguson, bring a lively yet overly abbreviated outdoor take on the comedy to lifeNew York’s most famous venue for Shakespeare in the Park has returned, and with it the grand tradition of waking up at 4am and/or sleeping on the ground in order to score free tickets to star-studded theater. The Delacorte, an open-air amphitheater in Central Park, paused its annual outdoor series of high-profile and free summer shows in 2024 to continue with a renovation, and now returns, refurbished – and temporarily restocked with a bunch of familiar faces. For their production of William Shakespeare’s Twelfth Night, the Public Theater has snagged Peter Dinklage, Sandra Oh, Jesse Tyler Ferguson, Daphne Rubin-Vega, singer/actor Moses Sumney, and Lupita Nyong’o in the central role of Viola, opposite her real-life brother Junior as Viola’s twin Sebastian.The Nyong’o siblings and director Saheem Ali all grew up in ...

3 w. ago ‘We can hear their saliva’: why are so many actors suddenly using microphones?

From Greek tragedy to Chekhov to Rosamund Pike in Inter Alia, handheld mics are everywhere on stage right now. Is this a thrilling innovation – or a pointless fad?Wig, robes and moves like Jagger. Rosamund Pike’s star turn as a crown court judge, at the National Theatre in London, has proved that there’s just one prop you need to turn even the most serious of subjects into a punk performance – a microphone. And Inter Alia is only the latest in a number of major openings to star the humble handheld: from Greek tragedy to Chekhov, the device seems to be increasingly common in West End productions.Microphones were integral to Thomas Ostermeier’s meta-theatrical production of The Seagull at the Barbican, and Jamie Lloyd – having used handhelds to transform James McAvoy into a rapping Cyrano de Bergerac three years ago – has deployed them in both Shakespeare (Much Ado) and Lloyd Webber (Evita). And no production used them more controversially than Daniel Fish’s Elektra, whose lead, Brie ...
