I think this is the fourth time I have seen Arthur Miller's play All My Sons and although I have seen other very good productions, this is the best for the magnificent acting of Bill Pullman as the engineering firm chief, Joe Keller, Sally Field as his wife Kate and Colin Morgan as their son Chris. It is a difficult play to write about without the big reveal which would spoil the play for anyone seeing it for the first time.

English Touring Theatre has paired up with The Theatre Royal at Stratford East to bring us a thrilling production of Equus which is as brilliantly acted as it is choreographed. I saw the 1973 production of Equus at the National Theatre and remembered the horses played by people with horse heads as being ground breaking in terms of movement.

Set in Reading, Pennsylvania,Sweat looks at blue collar workers in America and how after years of toiling for the same company they lose their jobs to cheaper labour, from immigrant communities within the United States, or to the residents of Mexico. Reading is a steel town and like Sheffield, in the 1997 film The Full Monty, is one which finds it is losing jobs to cheaper producers abroad. Of course what Lynn Nottage is cleverly documenting is the reason behind the political success of Donald Trump in the 2016 election with the support of blue collar Americans.
