Critompare: Luise Miller – Donmar Warehouse, London ****

“The stuff of seduction is also the stuff of politics. Lies and promises!”

Blood of ancient nobility and son of the most powerful statesman in the land, Ferdinand is willing to forsake his fortune for the love of Luise, daughter of a humble musician. But in a world governed by deception and greed, where power is everything, their future happiness and liberty are beyond their control.

Schiller’s masterpiece of power and politics explores the battle between honour and corruption, between truth and betrayal.

Critcompare: Moonlight – Donmar Warehouse ***

“What’s the weather like? Is it uncertain with showers or sunny with fog patches? Or unceasing moonlight with no cloud?”

Andy lies dying in his bed. As his wife, Bel, tries desperately to bring his estranged sons to his side
his thoughts turn to his youth, loves, lust and fears, whilst the haunting presence of the things they
have all lost swirl in the dark lonely spaces of this suburban household.

A tragic comedy of family dysfunction, Moonlight is one of Harold Pinter’s most human and poignant plays suffused with universal emotions: the cold dread of death; the pain of separation from loved ones; the longing for reunion; and the continuity of the family.
