REVIEW: Jarman
Reading Time: 2 minutesA touching piece about what it means to choose to be a maverick rather than a conformist, Jarman—the vital story of the life of the eponymous film director, stage designer, author and gay rights activist—is a perfect fit for the theatre’s Boys! Boys! Boys! season.

Huge yellow crates, plentiful rubber ducks, and Ibiza-stag-do vibes abound in this colourful production which plays to the crowd with the joy and aptitude one expects from a Globe ensemble. The moments of playfulness, silliness, and superb ad-libbing are hilarious and feel as if they were discovered organically in what I can only assume was a delightful rehearsal process.
