BWW Review: THE SHAKESPEARE REVUE, Richmond Theatre, 7 November 2016
A revue is a rare theatrical treat these days. In its heyday, the irresistible combination of light comedy, song and dance sketches was incredibly popular. Its golden age lasted from the early 1920s to the late 1950s and for much of that time its greatest practitioner was Noel Coward who wrote and appeared in a succession of revues on both sides of the Atlantic such as London Calling 1923 and Sigh No More 1945.
