 Review: ‘Lessness’ at the Oxford Playhouse, 17﷓2Q February 1982, performed by the Rohan Theatre Group, ...   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
And the Rohan Theatre Group, encouraged and supported by Francis Warner, staged at the Oxford Playhouse, in what was quietly but firmly described in the programme as a ‘world premiere’, a text which, notwithstanding the radio reading of blessed memory, one might summarily have dismissed as unstageable: Lessness.
Yet one virtue of the Oxford production was that it made the six constitutive clusters seem like fragments of a unique utterance - as if the silent central figure were seeking some absolute, unimpeachable, solitary utterance of unanswerable finality.
This is not, I think, an effect available to a reader of the prose, since the uniform typography stresses the paragraph and the sentence rather than the elements of which they are composed.

 REVIEW: Merry Wives of Windsor
I was feeling a little grumpy after work when I arrived at Wadham College for the Oxford Shakespeare Company's outdoor production of The Merry Wives of Windsor, but by the end of it I was in a fantastic mood.
It had been raining all day before the outdoor performance at Oxford's Wadham College, and I was told the set had taken a real hammering.
From where I was sat you really couldn't tell and the cast did an excellent job of not letting any soggy bits of set stop them doing their best.

 Review of Christmas shows: Big Trouble In The Little Bedroom/Sleeping Beauty   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
The regular Oxford panto team — director/choreographer Michele Hardy and writer Paul Knight — always play as straight a bat as possible: traditional story, characters and routines, a few doggerel couplets from the fairy, and so on.
Whilst there is no sign of a panto horse or cow, Princess Briar Rose's toys come charmingly to life at one point, and later on valiant Prince Michael conducts a fl-lit battle with an impressive dragon.
The Playhouse team do not try to inject extraneous glitz by signing up any big, or even moderate, names for these shows; they rely on the productions themselves to do the work of entertaining the audience.

Bill Hicks - Shock and Awe, Live at the Oxford Playhouse CD Bill Hicks - Shock and Awe, Live at the Oxford Playhouse CD
Anything by the late, great Texan stand-up is a welcome addition and this previously unavailable recording of a 1992 show finds him on fine, and surprisingly relaxed, form - especially for a chain-smoker in the throes of giving up "The only place the nicotine patch works is over the mouth".
Another great reminder of a passionate iconoclast and thoroughly recommended unless you are in marketing or advertising, in which case you may find the content distressing.
