A handbag? Jack Furness’ uproarious new production of Gerald Barry’s irreverent take Oscar Wilde bares some very sharp teeth.
Garsington’s new La traviata ticks every musical and dramatic box
Music Director Douglas Boyd conducts a performance of exceptional musical quality, and Louisa Muller's uncontroversial but passionate direction makes this Traviata one for the ages.
