Expressionist Theatre Is Alive and Well in London

Michael Billington: “‘Expressionist’ is one of those handy terms that we critics use rather promiscuously. … Now it is widely applied to anything that is non-realistic. But, however randomly deployed, it has its value. And what is striking is how applicable it is to much of today’s theatre. In the past week I have seen three productions that all, in different ways, could be labelled expressionist.”
