[ Arts reviews from London-SE1.co.uk ]


SHE STOOPS TO CONQUER AT THE NATIONAL THEATRE 
Dr Samuel Johnson once said that a work could not be
considered literature until it had continuously pleased
audiences for one hundred years. The Royal National
Theatre�s production of She Stoops to Conquer would
have satisfied him thoroughly.

THE CHILDREN'S HOUR AT THE UNION THEATRE 
Union Theatre�s production of Lillian Hellman�s The
Children�s Hour is anything but childish.
