The best of the week’s live reviews ⬇️ 🟠 Blues for an Alabama Sky, Lyttelton Theatre, London ★★★★★ 🟠 Iphigenia in Splott, Lyric Hammersmith ★★★★

Sophie Melville has rightly won awards for her pounding and visceral portrayal of Effie, a whirling dervish of destruction in her tracksuit trousers and puffa jacket. From the opening lines of Rachel O’Riordan’s wonderfully assured production, Melville is in absolute command of the auditorium and we listen with enrapt, horrified, admiring concentration.
With the possibility of a narrative of redemption dangled tantalisingly before us if not Effie herself, Melville powers on, angry, defiant and passionate, bringing wicked humour to Effie’s caustic snapshots of daily life in a desolate social landscape where causing aggro is one of the few outlets for expression.
