15 h. ago Noughts & Crosses review – Malorie Blackman’s thought experiment confronts the audience anew

Regent’s Park Open Air theatre, LondonCallum and Sephy are a modern Romeo and Juliet, forced to grow up fast as they wade through the crushing racial and class structures that pin them in their opposing places‘Do you ever wonder what it would be like if our positions were reversed?” Callum asks his prison guard. “If we whites were in charge instead of you Crosses?” Malorie Blackman’s seminal 2001 novel flipped racism on its head. Bringing the story for young adults to life on stage, Tinuke Craig’s zippy, large-scale production confronts the audience anew.This modern Romeo and Juliet remains one of the most striking tales written for teenagers.

She is the hottest property in classical music, a dazzling musician who can play Bach one minute and mix up Robbie Williams the next. Will her epic ‘explosion of energy’ Prom blow the Albert Hall roof off?At midnight, at least one night a week, Anna Lapwood ascends the stairs to the Royal Albert Hall’s organ loft and climbs on to its bench. Safe in the knowledge that the audience for that evening’s show have all dispersed, she starts playing the venue’s enormous Henry Willis organ, all 10,000 pipes of it. Often, she’s still going at five or six in the morning. “It’s the only downtime you get to practise,” she says.Occasionally, some celebrity from an aftershow party will be lured by her playing. “It’s how I met Benedict Cumberbatch,” she says with a laugh. “And there was the time I gave Tom Cruise an impromptu organ lesson, after that live orchestral screening of Top Gun: Maverick.
