My profile

Welcome to the Bardathon!

I’m Pete Kirwan, and this is my theatre review blog. The blog started life as a chronicle of the RSC’s Complete Works Festival, and since then I’ve widened it out to include almost everything I see, though there’s still a heavy Shakespearean bias.

The posts here are simply the thoughts and opinions of one man, and are not meant to be construed as authoritative or definitive. Please feel free to comment, agree or disagree and debate (but no abuse). It’s my belief that the more publicly-available opinions there are available, the more effective and representative theatre criticism can be – this is my contribution.

I review for a number of academic journals and other websites, and I try to put in interesting bits of news and theatre gossip when I can as well. Hope you enjoy reading, and let me know of anything I should see!
