Talking People at Bush Theatre | Theatre review

1 week ago | theupcoming.co.uk | Antonia Georgiou

We have always lived in an era of contradictions, but the cultural sphere has never been quite so paradoxical and, indeed, parasocial. This era is one in which the commoner and the celebrity are more connected than ever due to the veneer of relatability afforded by social media. But this digital intimacy is simultaneously deepening our divisions, as unattainable lifestyles are thrust incessantly in the faces of ordinary people.
The Return | Movie review

1 week ago | theupcoming.co.uk | Antonia Georgiou

Homer’s Odyssey has been adapted countless times on the big screen. From Theo Angelopoulos’s haunting Ulysses’s Gaze to the Coen Brothers’s comedy caper O Brother, Where Art Thou?, the canonical text is ripe for reinterpretation. However, it has, for the most part, not been reinterpreted with The Return; Uberto Pasolini’s adaptation is a largely faithful one.

The Ex-Wife season two | Show review

2 weeks ago | theupcoming.co.uk | Antonia Georgiou

The Ex-Wife is back and more twisty than ever, with Céline Buckens’s Tasha starting a new life following a series of traumatising events. At the end of the first season, Tasha’s duplicitous husband, Jack (Tom Mison), attempted to run her off the road to kidnap the couple’s daughter, Emily, and be with his ex-wife, Jen (now played by Katie McGrath). This resulted in a horrific car crash in which Emily was killed. Or so it would seem.

On Saturday, Matt Berninger presented some of his latest work – from his second solo album set for release this May – at the Union Chapel in Islington. As promised by the strapline, the night was indeed an “intimate trio performance”, so close-knit and reverent that scarcely anyone pulled out their phone to film, take photos or even just check notifications; the concertgoers were religiously enraptured by the show.
