British theatre’s attitude to the classics have undergone a sea-change recently. Long distant now seem the Almeida’s Greek season of 2015, Medea at the National and Electra at the Old Vic in 2014. Instead of renewed artistic interrogation in a fairly conventional mode, the thrust is one of female reclamation.

My Brilliant Friend review, National Theatre: A lively, generous tale of femininity and violence
Theories abound as to the identity of Elena Ferrante. Thanks to the Neapolitan novels author’s aversion to publicity, some believe her to be the alter-ego of male writer Domenico Starnone.

Macbeth, Royal Shakespeare Theatre, Stratford-upon-Avon, review: A powerful take on the Macbeth marriage
Christopher Eccleston, here making his debut for the RSC, impressively conveys the horrible clash between the bluff, no-nonsense, northern-accented soldier and the inner man who is psychologically tormented by the implication of his deeds. Stalking around in sequinned sheaths and hobbling heels, Cusack signals a perturbing rapture of ambition and a nerve-jangling impatience with her cowering consort.
