Shouts and Murmurs - March 12, 2024
“Was it him? Puppets? Was he the puppets one?”
Hello, and welcome to Shouts And Murmurs, a weekly email for paid supporters of The Crush Bar, written by me, Fergus Morgan.
Every week, I round up the best theatre writing elsewhere - reviews, interviews, opinion, long-reads - plus any other interesting theatre-related stuff I find.
This week: some obituaries and other stuff about the late playwright Edward Bond, including a lovely piece collated by Mark Fisher in The Guardian; review round-ups of Nye at the National Theatre, The Crucible in Sheffield, Uncle Vanya in Richmond, Starter For Ten in Bristol, and a few other shows; and links to some other interesting articles, including a terrific bit featuring famous names recounting their rehearsal room experiences.
