The Time Machine at The Park Theatre comes a close second. A hilarious Three Musketeers and a splendid Dracula were superseded only by a divine Sense and Sensibility and a perfect Study in Scarlet. It’s been a great year for the Attic Theatre in Stratford upon Avon. There was an enjoyable Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons Lemons at the Harold Pinter, but my vote goes to the fantastically funny and powerful Accidental Death of An Anarchist at the Theatre Royal Haymarket. But the one I went back to see again was the RSC’s remarkable Cowbois At the Blue Orange Theatre, Physical Education impressed the hell out of me.

I absolutely adored The Way Old Friends Do, which began its life at Birmingham Rep. Then just a week or two later, My Fair Lady at the Birmingham Hippodrome showed me how breath-taking lavish productions can be. There was a touring production of The King & I, which I caught at Birmingham’s Alexandra Theatre that reminded me of the brilliance of Rodgers & Hammerstein. I’m pretty old-school when it comes to musicals.

Hamlet at Oslo’s National Theatre was a lesson in how to be concise, stylish and powerfully expressive, and so this one gets the prize. At Birmingham’s Crescent Theatre, their Othello blew me away, but the best production I saw this year was not even in English. Stafford Gatehouse had a fair crack at A Midsummer Night’s Dream. At the RSC, I’d say Cymbeline was their best effort in a long while.

And also some stinkers (Looking at you, Macbeth and Julius Caesar at the RSC!). The number of four-or-five star shows far outstrips those of two or three. On the whole, it’s been a great year, theatrically speaking. Another year of reviewing theatre comes to a close and, like everyone else, I am in reflective mood.
