Marlowe’s Doctor Faustus is a festival staple the world over because it throws up so many mirrors on contemporary times and mores, a fact inventively exemplified in director Rikki Tarascas’ surreal take on today’s financial temptations.
Brighton Festival: Apparition Brighton Corn Exchange
Apparition experiments with real and virtual bodies.
Brighton Festival: A World I Loved: The Story of an Arab Woman Theatre Royal, Brighton
This was an exemplary festival event.
Brighton Festival: Land’s End Old Municipal Market, Brighton
A multidisciplinary fusion of installation art, cinematic projections and theatrical confrontation, Land’s End is a taut, teasing integration of all three that buffs them up against each other in stylish but ultimately lifeless collisions.

These four very different pieces from the Trisha Brown Dance Company take the audience on a journey from the expressive to the avant-garde.

It takes a while for your eyes to adjust to the dark.

The recent Rapture prediction of the end of the world failed to materialise - as one headline put it, “Apocalypse not right now”.

Hydrocracker’s revival of its 2007 production, drawing on five of Harold Pinter’s political plays, is a profoundly disturbing experience.

Best known for his collaborations with Akram Kahn and Alain Platel’s Ballets C de la B, choreographer Sidi Larbi Cherkaoui’s UK premiere Apocrifu is a stunning piece of dance theatre.

Choreographer Charles Linehan is renowned for the understated nature of his work, and these two pieces are no exception.
