- It begins like this. With the dusk and the storm and the Thames…
This romantic and propulsive thriller is a hymn to the city and the river that runs through it. Directed by Ian Rickson (Translations) and adapted by Ben Power (The Lehman Trilogy), with original songs throughout, the genius of Dickens meets the fierce musical imagination of acclaimed singer-songwriter, PJ Harvey.
London Tide is playing in the Lyttelton Theatre until 22 June.

Brilliant
Clearly there are mixed reviews for this play. The best play I have seen at the National was The Lehman Brothers, to my surprise this was by the same adaptor. The story of course was by Dickens and a huge task to adapt and that was reasonable. What I can’t forgive was the terrible acting by a fair proposition of the cast. When actors are desperate for parts how on earth did so many of the cast get chosen. Wooden, without any genuine emotion going from every day to anger at a flick of a switch; careful placing of a coat whilst threatening to kill (not in a menacing way, just in case it slipped) ‘ ‘oh I’ve missed you’ said with little emotion and no physical reaching out, I spent far too much time chuckling at dreadful acting. Did they really know their lines? there were those nano moments between one actor replying to another; intimate dialogue stretched out across the rather large Lyttleton stage. And on and on. As to the music I realise this is a matter of taste so little said about that the better. Live theatre is about experience, good and bad and this play enables one to compare and contrast
