Sing for your soul

This week on CW, a double dose of operatic evil, as Timandra Harkness reviews Terry Gilliam’s production of Berlioz’s The Damnation of Faust at the ENO in London, while Robert Latona reviews Stephen Schwartz’s Séance on a Wet Afternoon at the New York City Opera. In London theatre, Matt Trueman on Told by an Idiot’s And the Horse You Rode In On at the Barbican, and Miriam Gillinson on Joshua McGuire’s youthful Hamlet at the Globe and Tennessee Williams’ Kingdom of Earth at the Print Room.

Finally, in essays, Maahwish Mirza reflects on David Cameron’s muscular liberalism, while Anwar Oduro-Kwarteng offers detailed scrutiny of the government’s education white paper, ‘The Importance of Teaching’.
