In Praise Of Love (Orange Tree Theatre, Richmond)Verdict: Love stuck  Rating: Letters From Max (Hampstead)Verdict: Tragic poetry  Rating: Terence Rattigan brings out the Italian in me – which is strange as I don’t have a single Latin gene in my body. Yet all his English emotional understatement leaves me aching for operatic outpourings. And his 1973 play, In Praise Of Love, is a prime example of his Anglo-Saxon reserve.

Marriage Material (Lyric Theatre, Hammersmith)Verdict: Irresistible nostalgia Rating:Nobody does family quite like Indians do. For sheer intensity of generational bonds, they are hard to beat – as we discover all over again in the new stage adaptation of Sathnam Sanghera's epic Wolverhampton-set novel Marriage Material. But what's really fascinating about the story of two Sikh girls in Sixties and contemporary Britain is its secret nostalgia for old-fashioned patriarchal ways.
