I went to see ‘the last days of judas iscariot’ yesterday and it has to be one of the best pieces of theatre you will ever see.

Imagining judas as being wrongly sentenced to eternal damnation, the play is a court room drama unlike any you will see again. Set in purgatory, and drawing witnesses from the biblical and historical canon from pontius pilate to sigmund freud, this is a fierce satire on the human condition.

With an award-deserving turn from Douglas Henshall as Satan and electrifying performances from the entire cast, especially Joe Mawle as a frozen, tortured new-yoik Judas, this should keep going long enough for everyone interested in life too see it.

This is a charming, intimate, well-run (or so it seems) theatre. There's nearly always something enticing on or upcoming, the space itself is a great size (particularly if you feel a wee bit alienated by those 800-person behemoths in and around Theatreland) and there's a genuinely good restaurant just over the road. There's a great Pinter on at the moment (March 08) that's well worth a go, if only to be amazed at Ken Cranham and to laugh at Danny Dyer.

I had a lovely experience seeing a production of Cloud 9 here recently. The theatre is airy but small enough to make the performance intimate (I was in the back row), and the design of the place is practical but also interesting.

The foyer is designed so people can talk and meet there before and after shows, and I was highly impressed by the ramping throughout that made it easy for wheelchair users to attend without difficulty.

The bar staff were pleasant, and I didn't have to wait to be served; and refreshingly there were enough toilets to prevent ridiculous queues during the interval.

This is a beautiful building, well tailored to its purpose.
